At the [[1900 Summer Olympics]], a [[Basque pelota]] tournament was contested.

Only two teams entered - one from Spain and one from France - but the French team of [[Maurice Durquetty]] and Etchegaray withdrew on the afternoon of the single contest due to a disagreement about the rules. Therefore, the contest was scratched, and the Spanish team was awarded first prize.<ref name="Arrechea">{{cite web |url=http://www.soitu.es/soitu/2008/08/10/flts11/1218380873_502728.html|title=No, España no tiene aún 100 medallas olímpica |last=Arrechea |first=Fernando |date=August 10, 2008 |language=Spanish|website=Soitu.es |access-date=March 9, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://olympanalyt.com/OlympAnalytics.php?param_pagetype=MedalsByCountries&param_dbversion=&param_country=ALL&param_games=ALL&param_sport=Basque+Pelota |title=Olympic Analytics - Medals by Countries |website=olympanalyt.com |access-date=2022-01-31}}</ref>

This is the only Olympics to date where pelota was an official sport, being revived at the [[1924 Summer Olympics|1924]], [[1968 Summer Olympics|1968]] and [[1992 Summer Olympics|1992 Games]] as a [[demonstration sport]].
