Magnetic fields of chemically peculiar (CP) stars of the upper main sequence are characterised by a geometry organised at a large scale, permeating the entire photosphere, and with a typical strength of the order of 0.1–30 kG. Here I review the results obtained from statistical studies of the structures of the magnetic fields of CP stars, which are aimed at finding how magnetic strength and morphology are correlated with other stellar characteristics and with the star's evolutionary state.
