All-time Olympic Games medal table

This article is about Olympic medals won by countries. You can find lists of medals won by individual athletes at Lists of Olympic medalists and List of multiple Olympic medalists.

The table below shows medals won in all Olympic Games from 1896 to 2026, including the Summer Olympic Games, Winter Olympic Games, and a total of both. These counts do not include the 1906 Intercalated Games because they are no longer recognized as official Games by the International Olympic Committee. The IOC does not create all-time tables itself, so this table was made by adding up results from the IOC database.

Medals are counted for each country using the IOC country code shown in the IOC database. Usually, one code stands for one National Olympic Committee. When a country changes its IOC code or name, the medals are added together. However, not all totals include medals won by athletes from a country when it was part of another NOC. Names in italic are for countries that no longer exist. The totals for NOCs are not combined with those of countries that came before or after them.

List of NOCs with medals (sortable & unranked)

This table shows how many medals each country has won in the Olympic Games. You can sort the table by any column, like the number of gold medals or the total number of medals. The table includes data up to the 2026 Winter Olympics and does not count medals that were taken away for rule breaks.

A total of 162 countries and teams have won at least one Olympic medal. Only France, Great Britain, and Switzerland have been in every Olympic Games since they began.

List of NOCs without medals (sortable & unranked)

After the 2026 Winter Olympics, 64 of the current 206 National Olympic Committees have not yet won an Olympic medal. This list also includes seven historic National Olympic Committees.

Special case of Germany

Variations

Early Olympics

Some countries were given credit for competing in the 1900 Summer Olympics even though the International Olympic Committee (IOC) does not count them as official. This includes one medal that goes to France and is given to Luxembourg.

There are also differences because some events from 1900 and 1904 are not always counted as Olympic events. Some tables also add in the 1906 Intercalated Games.

Alpinism and aeronautics

From 1924 to 1936, the IOC gave out gold medals for climbing mountains and flying airplanes during the Olympic time. In 1924, 1932, and 1936, 25 climbers from six countries got medals for their mountain trips. In 1936, one person from Switzerland got a medal for flying a plane over the Alps first.

Australasia

Australasia was a team made up of athletes from Australia and New Zealand that competed together in the 1908 and 1912 Summer Olympics. After World War I, the two countries competed separately.
