At the 1900 Summer Olympics, three croquet events were contested. Seven men and three women participated. The doubles competition was scheduled first, though it is unclear whether the French pair that won had any competition. The one-ball singles was played the next week, followed by two-ball singles the week after. France, which supplied all 10 competitors, therefore won all the medals.

This was the only Olympiad where croquet was part of the official programme, though there was the variant called roque at the 1904 Summer Olympics.[1] All events which were restricted to amateurs, open to all nations, open to all competitors, and without handicapping, are now regarded as Olympic events (except for ballooning).[2]: 12–13 Although croquet satisfied three criteria, it had been thought to have an entrant from Belgium, Marcel Haëntjens,[2]: 27 (Haëntjens is a Flemish name) and thus have been an international competition. Haëntjens is now known to have been from France,[3] as were the other croquet players. Only one paying spectator attended the event.[4]
