Albania first participated at the Summer Olympic Games in 1972. After that, Albania missed the next four games, three of them for political reasons due to the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott, 1984 Summer Olympics boycott and 1988 boycotts, but returned for the Barcelona 1992 Summer Olympics. They have appeared in all games since then. They made their Winter Olympic Games debut in 2006.[1] Albania normally competes in events that include swimming, athletics, weightlifting, shooting, and wrestling. They have been represented by the Albanian National Olympic Committee since 1972.

Albania won its first ever Olympic medal when Chermen Valiev scored bronze in the men's freestyle 74 kg wrestling at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Its second medal came when Islam Dudaev scored bronze in men's freestyle 65 kg wrestling at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
