Team sports competed at the 1900 Games in Paris were cricket, football, polo, rugby, tug-of-war, and Water Polo. Records show the first competition of a team sport was a polo match in late May, 1900 between a French team and a team comprised mostly of players from Great Britain along with two players from the United States and one from Ireland. The 'mixed' team defeated the French team 10-0.
