List of National Olympic Committees

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below is a list of all National Olympic Committees, representing the 206 countries and territories which participate in the Olympics.[1]

A total of 206 member countries and territories participate in the Olympics;[1] that is higher than the 193 member states of the United Nations, because up until 1996 the International Olympic Committee allowed non sovereign countries or territories to become members.[2]

There are currently 13 non-sovereign territories or partially unrecognized countries that are members of the Olympics while not being members of the United Nations: American Samoa, Aruba, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Chinese Taipei, Cook Islands, Guam, Hong Kong, Kosovo, Palestine, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.[1][3]

Conversely, there is currently no United Nations member state that does not participate at the Olympics.

Finally, one of the two United Nations General Assembly observer states, the Holy See (sovereign over Vatican City) is also not a member of the Olympics.[4]
