[[Field hockey]] made its [[Field hockey at the 1908 Summer Olympics|debut]] at the [[Modern Olympic Games]] as a men's competition in the [[1908 Summer Olympics|1908 Games]] in [[London]]. It was removed from the Olympic schedule of the [[Summer Olympic Games]] for the [[1924 Summer Olympics|1924 Paris Games]] and was reintroduced in the [[1928 Summer Olympics|1928 Amsterdam Games]]. The Women's field hockey was [[Field hockey at the 1980 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament|introduced]] into the Olympic programme at the [[1980 Moscow Olympics]].

The [[International Hockey Federation]] (FIH) was founded in 1924 and governs the field hockey events. Until the [[1988 Summer Olympics]], the tournaments were invitational, but a qualification system was introduced since the [[Field Hockey at the 1992 Summer Olympics|1992 Barcelona Olympics]]. The last edition at [[2024 Paris Olympics|Paris]] was the 25th occurrence of the [[Field hockey at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament|men's event]] and 12th consecutive occurrence of [[Field hockey at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament|women's event]] in the Olympics.

India holds the record for the most appearances in the Olympic men's competitions (22) while Australia and Netherlands hold the same record in women's competitions (11). India leads the medal tally for the men's events with 13 medals while the Netherlands heads the women's events with 10 medals.

[[Great Britain men's national field hockey team|Great Britain]] won the first two editions of the men's event in [[Field hockey at the 1908 Summer Olympics|1908]] and [[Field hockey at the 1920 Summer Olympics|1920]]. [[India men's national field hockey team|India]] won the gold medal in seven out of eight Olympics from [[Field hockey at the 1928 Summer Olympics|1928]] to [[Field hockey at the 1964 Summer Olympics|1964]] with [[Pakistan men's national field hockey team|Pakistan]] winning three gold and silver medals each between the 1956 and [[Field hockey at the 1984 Summer Olympics|1984 Games]]. The matches are played on [[artificial turf]] since [[1976 Summer Olympics|1976]]. Since the late 1980s, European nations have dominated the field hockey events with [[Germany men's national field hockey team|Germany]] and [[Netherlands men's national field hockey team|Netherlands]] having won three gold medals each in the men's event. In the women's event, [[Netherlands women's national field hockey team|Netherlands]] and [[Australia women's national field hockey team|Australia]] have been dominant, having won five and three gold medals respectively since its introduction in 1980.
