Polo was on the Olympic Programme in 1900, 1908, 1920, 1924, and 1936, but it would be removed from the Olympic Programme after the Berlin Olympics. The 1924 matches were held at two venues around Paris: Saint-Cloud Country Club, in Saint-Cloud, and the Polo de Bagatelle, in the Bois de Boulogne, which was where the 1900 polo matches were contested.
The 1924 polo tournament was notable for the first matches between the two dominant nations in the sport, Argentina and the United States, with Argentina winning the gold medal and the United States taking silver. The tournament was a round-robin with five nations competing, with Argentina defeating the USA, 6-5, in a closely fought match that decided the top two places.
