Basque pelota at the Games of the II Olympiad
In addition to the scheduled amateur Basque pelota tournament, a professional tournament was played at Borghese Street, number 26, Neuilly-sur-Seine.
Venue	Neuilly-sur-Seine
Date	14 June 1900
Competitors	2 from 1 nation
Medalists
José de Amézola, Francisco Villota  Spain

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 were awarded first prize.

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