Historically, North Korea's participation in international sporting events has been hindered by the relations with South Korea.

Since the early 1990s, the amount was reduced to just one, the Paektusan Prize International Figure Skating Festival. More recently, since the 2000s, North Korea both participates in and hosts more international competitions.
