Ireland competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 24 July to 11 August 2024, commemorating the centenary of the team's debut as an independent country at the Summer Olympics. 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 2024 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.
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.
