1900 Summer Olympics medal table

The 1900 Summer Olympics, now officially known as the Games of the II Olympiad, were an international multi-sport event held in Paris, France, from May 14 to October 28, 1900, as part of the 1900 World's Fair. A total of 1,226 athletes representing 26 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated. The games featured 95 events in 19 sports. Archery, Basque pelota, cricket, croquet, equestrian jumping, football, golf, polo, rugby union, rowing, sailing, tug of war, and water polo were contested for the first time at these Games. Women competed in the Olympics for the first time during the 1900 games. Athletes representing 19 NOCs received at least one medal. France won the most of every type of medal, while the United States won the second-most of every type of medal. Spain, Cuba, the Netherlands, Italy, and Belgium all won their nation's first Olympic gold medals. Belgium, Italy, Netherlands, Cuba, Spain, Norway, India, Bohemia, and Sweden all won their nation's first Olympic medals of any kind.

In the early Olympic Games, several team events were contested by athletes from multiple nations. During the 1900 games, athletes participating in mixed teams won medals in football, polo, rowing, tennis, and tug of war.

The 1900 Olympics is unique in being the only Olympic Games to feature rectangular medals, which were designed by . Gilt silver medals were awarded for first place in shooting, lifesaving, motor racing, and gymnastics, while second place silver medals were awarded in shooting, rowing, sailing, tennis, gymnastics, fencing, equestrian, and athletics. Third place bronze medals were awarded in gymnastics, firefighting, and shooting. However, in many sports, medals were not awarded, with most of the listed prizes being cups and other similar trophies. The International Olympic Committee has retrospectively assigned gold, silver, and bronze medals to competitors who earned first, second, and third place finishes in order to bring early Olympics in line with current awards. Alvin Kraenzlein won four gold medals at the 1900 Summer Olympics, the most of any competing athlete.

Medal count

The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC conventional sorting in its published medal tables. The table uses the Olympic medal table sorting method. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won, where a nation is an entity represented by a NOC. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their IOC country code. Changes in medal standings (see below) {{Medals table | show_limit. = 10
