Lacrosse at the Summer Olympics has been contested at two editions of the Summer Olympic Games — 1904 and 1908. Both times it had been open only to men; both times a Canadian team had won the competition. In its first year, three teams from two nations competed. The second appearance saw only two teams, again from two nations, compete.
