Australia competed at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States. Australia sent 417 athletes, 250 men and 167 women, to the Atlanta Games.[1]

The Australian Government had to pay royalties for playing Waltzing Matilda;[2][3] Carl Fischer Music had copyrighted the song in 1941 as an original composition, although it is not now copyrighted in Australia.

At the closing ceremony, a segment of their culture was performed, as the country hosted the next Olympics In Sydney.

Men's Team Competition

Australia made its first appearance in the official Olympic baseball tournament in 1996. The team won two of its preliminary round games, against Korea and Japan, but lost the other five. The Australians' record put them in a three-way tie for fifth, with all three teams eliminated from contention and the tie-breaker rules used only to formally place the three teams. Australia came out on the bottom of that tie-breaker, and ended up in seventh place.
