Ireland competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 24 July to 11 August 2024, commemorating its centenary of the team's debut as an independent country in the same venue. ^[1] Irish athletes have competed in every Summer Olympics edition of the modern era, either in its own right or as part of a Great Britain and Ireland team before 1924, except for the Berlin 1936 Olympics.

Ireland sent a record 134 athletes to the Games, across 15 sports. 2024 also marked the centenary of Ireland's first independent appearance at the 1924 Olympic Games, also in Paris, after the founding of the Irish Free State in 1922. ^[2]

The 2024 Summer Olympics was the most successful Olympics in the history of the nation, with Ireland breaking their previous record medal haul of 6 at London 2012. The team also surpassed the Atlanta 96 record of 3 Olympics golds in a games, including both a first Olympic medal and Olympic gold medal in gymnastics as well as a first gold for the men in swimming. ^[3]

Gaelic games were also showcased at the Château de Vincennes, the first time they had featured at an Olympics since 1904. ^[4]

Medalists

Ireland guaranteed a podium finish on seven consecutive days: the opening Monday (McSharry, swimming), then Tuesday (Wiffen, swimming), followed by Wednesday (this was the day Harrington secured at least a bronze medal in boxing), ^[5] then Thursday (Lynch & Doyle, rowing), followed by McCarthy and O'Donovan's gold in rowing on Friday. ^[6] The streak continued on Saturday with McClenaghan's gold in gymnastics ^[7] and was rounded off with Daniel Wiffen securing a second podium finish in the pool on Sunday ^[8] .^{[ additional citation(s) needed ]}

The nation's media also reported on Irish links to athletes for other nations, notably Hungarian swimmer Hubert Kós (200 metre backstroke gold medalist), as well as Hong Kong's multi medal-winning swimmer Siobhán Haughey (grand-niece of former Taoiseach Charles Haughey). ^{[9] [10]} Neither's achievements count towards Ireland's total.

A number of Northern Ireland athletes competed for, and in several cases won gold medals for, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, including rower Hannah Scott and Jack McMillan who had previously swum for Ireland at the 2020 Games. These successes were also widely reported upon in Ireland. The success of Northern Ireland born athletes for both teams was reported on widely in Northern Ireland in particular, with the combined total of four golds, one silver and two bronze medals for Northern Irish athletes being reported as "Northern Ireland's best ever Games" and a symbol of the increasing ease felt in Northern Ireland with its multiple Irish and British identities. ^{[11] [12]}
