Baseball was demonstrated at the 1900 Olympics with a single game between two US teams. Baseball was a part of Section I of the physical section of the Paris Exposition. The game was held on Thursday, 20 September, although the location is not certain. One team was formed from the admirable guard corps of the United States Commission (Guards Team), while the other was selected from the publishers building at the Exposition (Publishers Team).

Baseball was also a demonstration sport at the 1912, 1936, 1956, 1964, 1984, and 1988 Olympics. In addition, in 1952, Finnish baseball, or pesäpallo, was a demonstration at the Helsinki Olympics. Baseball became a full medal sport in 1992, although it was dropped from the Olympic Programme after the 2008 Olympics. Due to the popularity of the sport in the host country, baseball appeared as a full medal sport at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, and is also scheduled to feature at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
