Previously, several athletes from Croatia, Slovenia and Vojvodina had competed for Austria or Hungary when those countries were part of the Empire of Austria-Hungary. A small team of two athletes had competed distinctly for Serbia at the 1912 Summer Olympics.
"Yugoslavia" has been the designation for Olympic teams from three distinct national entities:
* Kingdom of Yugoslavia (officially called the "Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes" until 1929) from 1920–1936
* Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1948 to the 1992 Winter Olympics
* Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, formed as a joint state by only Montenegro and Serbia after the breakup of Yugoslavia, from 1996–2002
Two of the successor nations (Croatia and Slovenia) began to compete as independent teams at the Olympics starting at the 1992 Winter Games, and as of the 2008 Summer Olympics, all six successor nations have participated independently.
