Ireland at the 1924 Summer Olympics

Ireland competed as a national delegation for the first time at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. The Irish Olympic Council had been admitted to the International Olympic Committee after the Irish Free State's 1922 independence from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The Council regarded itself as an all-Ireland body, including Northern Ireland as well as the Free State; it competed as "Ireland" (Irlande) rather than "Irish Free State" (État libre d'Irlande). The team used the Irish tricolour as its flag and "Let Erin Remember" anthem. Jack Yates was awarded a silver medal, and Oliver Gogarty was awarded a bronze.
