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.

Baseball

In their second appearance in Olympic baseball, The Netherlands repeated their fifth-place finish. They scored victories over Australia and Italy to begin (→ game 1) and end (→ game 7) the preliminary round, but suffered four defeats in between (→ games 2, 3, 5, and 6). In game 4, however, the Dutch team served Cuba its first defeat in the history of Olympic baseball, breaking a 21-game winning streak (→ in its third Olympiad) by the Cubans.
