Rugby union was a men's medal sport in the early modern Summer Olympic Games, featured in four of the first seven competitions. It debuted at the 1900 Paris Games, where the host nation won the gold medal. The sport was also included in the 1908 London Games, the 1920 Antwerp Games, and the 1924 Paris Games.

After the 1924 Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) dropped rugby union from the Olympic program. Despite numerous attempts to reinstate it, rugby union remained absent until October 2009, when the IOC voted in Copenhagen to include rugby sevens in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Rugby sevens first appeared in an Olympic program at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics.
