The first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896. The Olympiad has been held thirty times, though it has been canceled three times over history because of World War I and II. Olympic Games have been hosted the greatest number of times in Europe, followed by North America (especially in the United States of America). Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in South America has been selected to host the 2016 Olympic Games, but South America has not yet hosted the Olympic Games. Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent have also never hosted the Olympics.

The World Map of Olympics Hosts Cities shows all cities that have hosted the Summer and Winter Olympic Games and the years in which they were held. The United States of America has hosted four Winter Games and four Summer Games, more than any other country in the world. France has hosted two Summer Olympics and three Winter Olympics, and now the United Kingdom stands third, having hosted its third Olympic Games in 2012. After hosting the 2012 games, London became the fist ever city to have hosted the Olympic Games thrice. Los Angeles, Paris and Athens have each hosted two games each.
