Australia national baseball team at the Summer Olympics information
See also: Australia national baseball team and Baseball at the Summer Olympics
The Australia national baseball team was the third nation, after the United States and Sweden,[1] to participate in baseball at the Summer Olympics, making their first appearance at the 1956 Games in Melbourne, and again as part of its demonstration at the 1988 Games in Seoul.
Since baseball was first included as a medal sport at the 1992 Games in Barcelona,[2] Australia has participated in three of the five tournaments. The best result achieved was in the 2004 Games in Athens, where Australia lost the gold medal match to Cuba to receive silver.[3] Their medal tally puts them at 5th, equal to Chinese Taipei.[NB 1]
Australia is the only country to have hosted an Olympic baseball tournament as a medal sport, won an Olympic medal, and done so in separate years: hosted in 2000, won silver in 2004. Australia is also one of only two countries—the other being the United States—to have hosted baseball events as both a non-medal and medal sport.
