Archery was introduced during the 1900 Summer Olympics, although its first four editions varied greatly from the sport as is known now. The first four editions had different events for each edition, and only from the 1972 Summer Olympics onwards did the events become standardized.

The archery is governed by World Archery, founded in 1931.

During the 1904 Summer Olympics, only athletes from the United States competed.
