Monaco first joined the Olympic Games in 1920 and has sent athletes to most Summer Olympic Games since then. They missed the 1932 Games in Los Angeles, United States, the 1956 Games in Melbourne, Australia, and the boycotted 1980 Moscow Games. Monaco has also taken part in every Winter Olympic Games starting from 1984.

Even though many athletes from Monaco have competed, none have won a medal in the Summer or Winter Games up to 2024. This makes Monaco the place with the most Olympic appearances (33 in total, including 22 summer and 11 winter) without ever winning a medal. Their best result was finishing sixth in two-man bobsleigh at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

The National Olympic Committee for Monaco was set up in 1907 but was not recognized by the International Olympic Committee until 1953.

Former Bronze medal in 1924 Summer Games

Julien MΓ©dΓ©cin won a bronze medal for designing a special stadium in Monaco at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. This medal was for an art competition, which the Olympic committee counts but most people do not when they talk about Olympic sports medals. Because of this, many lists show that Monaco has not won any Olympic medals in sports.
