The Netherlands men's national artistic gymnastics team represents the Netherlands in World Gymnastics international competitions.
At the inaugural World Championships in 1903, Dutch gymnast Hendricus Thijsen won gold on pommel horse in a three-way tie.[1] At the 1905 World Championships, the Dutch team would win their first team medal, a silver.[2] It wouldn't be for another 100 years until a Dutch male gymnast won another medal at the World Championships, when Yuri van Gelder won gold on rings at the 2005 World Championships.[1]
At the 2012 Olympic Games, Epke Zonderland became the first Dutch gymnast to win an individual medal, winning gold on the horizontal bar.[3]
