Monaco, a small country, first joined the Olympic Games in 1920. Since then, it has sent athletes to compete in most Summer Olympic Games. Monaco only missed the 1932 Games in Los Angeles, USA, and the 1956 Games in Melbourne, Australia. They also did not go to the 1980 Moscow Games because of a boycott.

Monaco has also taken part in every Winter Olympic Games since 1984. As of 2024, no athlete from Monaco has won an Olympic medal. This means Monaco has been to the Olympics more times than any other country (33 times) without winning a medal. This includes 22 Summer and 11 Winter Games.

An architect named Julien Médecin did win a bronze medal in 1924. This was for architecture at the 1924 Olympics. However, the IOC no longer counts art competition medals as official Olympic medals. Monaco's best result so far was sixth place in two-man bobsleigh at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Monaco's National Olympic Committee was started in 1907. But the International Olympic Committee did not officially recognize it until 1953.
