New Zealand at the Olympics

New Zealand first competed at the Olympic Games as a separate country in 1920. Prior to that in the 1908 and 1912 Games, athletes from Australia and New Zealand competed together as a single team, designated Australasia.

Three of the 12 medals won by the Australasian team were won by New Zealanders.
