Rugby union was played at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. Three teams entered - France, Romania and the United States. The United States was returning to defend their gold medal after they defeated the French at the 1920 Summer Olympics. Each country played two games. Both France and the United States beat Romania, making the last match between the United States and France, the gold medal game. The United States emerged as winners, defeating France 17 points to 3. Rugby union was soon cancelled as an Olympic event, and the United States remain Olympic champions.
