Cuban athletes have never participated in
the Winter Olympic Games. Cuba is the most
successful Olympic team (by total medals won)
among those nations who never even participated
at Winter Olympics.
Cuba is in the second position of American
countries in gold medals (trailing only the United
States), and has won more medals than any
nation in Latin America. Cuba has yet to have
hosted the Olympic Games. Cuba has won the
fourth highest total number of medals
(after Hungary, Romania, and Poland) of nations
that have never hosted the Games.
The National Olympic Committee for Cuba is
the Cuban Olympic Committee, and was created
in 1926 and recognized in 1954.
