Ireland did not participate in the 1936 Summer Olympics due to a dispute with the British Olympic Association (BOA) over the representation of Irish athletes. After the establishment of the Irish Free State, Ireland sought to compete independently rather than under British representation. The BOA insisted that Irish athletes compete as part of the United Kingdom team, leading to Ireland's withdrawal from the Games in protest. As a result, Irish athletes were not represented in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.
