Irish athletes have competed at the Summer Olympics since 1900.
Note: Irish competitors 1900-1920 competed as part of British Empire team. An attempt was made in 1906 to gain "separate nation" status but was stopped by Prince George of Greece and Denmark.

The Gaelic Athletic Association declined to send an Irish team due to their belief that Irish athletes would not win in anything except the shot put and high jump.
