Maghreb Championships, contested by Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and, on occasion, Libya, were held between 1967 and 1990. A North African (or African Zone I) Championships, contested by the same four nations, is first believed to have been staged in 2003. Only a limited number of events were included on the programme of the 2004 meeting (Morocco did not compete).
