At the Games of the IX Olympiad Amsterdam 1928, Halina Konopacka became the first athlete representing Poland to win an Olympic gold medal, competing in the women’s athletics discus throw event. For the Winter Games, athletes representing Poland first competed at the I Olympic Winter Games Chamonix 1924, taking part in the sports or disciplines of cross country skiing, military patrol, Nordic combined, ski jumping and speed skating.

At Beijing 2022, Poland was represented by 56 athletes and claimed one medal in ski jumping. Dawid Kubacki took home bronze in the men's normal hill individual event, marking the NOC's first medal in that event since Kamil Stoch won gold at Sochi 2014. Competing in his fifth Games at Beijing 2022, Stoch finished sixth in the men's normal hill individual and fourth in the men's large hill individual.
