The 1921 Women's Olympiad Olympiades Féminines and Jeux Olympiques Féminins[2] was the first international women's sports event, a 5-day multi-sport event organised by Alice Milliat and held on 24–31 March[3] 1921 in Monte Carlo[4] at the International Sporting Club of Monaco.

[5] The tournament was formally called 1er Meeting International d'Education Physique Féminine de Sports Athlétiques.

[7] The games were organized by Alice Milliat and Camille Blanc,[2][8] director of the "International Sporting Club de Monaco" as a response to the IOC decision not to include women's events in the 1924 Olympic Games.

[9] The games were attended by 100 participants from 5 nations: France, Italy, Switzerland, United Kingdom and Norway (mentioned by several sources, however no Norwegian athletes appear in the result lists).

The tournament was held at the "Tir aux Pigeons" in the gardens of the Monte Carlo Casino.
