The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland competed as Great Britain at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. British athletes have competed in every Summer Olympic Games. 310 competitors, 181 men and 129 women, took part in 179 events in 23 sports.
The Sydney Games was at the time the best performance by Great Britain in the Summer Olympic Games since 1920, with British competitors winning a total of 28 medals, 11 of which were gold. This represented a vast improvement in performance over the previous Olympics in 1996, in which Great Britain won only one gold medal and 15 in total, and were the first Olympic Games where British competitors benefited from £58.9m of National Lottery funding when it was introduced in 1997.
The three British archers had a combined record of 3-3.
