Netherlands at the 2000 Summer Olympics
The Netherlands competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
Sydney 2000 marked the first time the Dutch Olympic team competed in Australia as the Netherlands and other European nations boycotted the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne due to the Soviet invasion of Hungary but the Netherlands did take part in the Equestrian events at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Stockholm five months earlier with a lone rider of the nation.
