The committee was formed in 1982 and was recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 28 May 1982 during the IOC Session in Rome. Oman made its Olympic debut at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles and has competed at every Summer Olympic Games since, but has not competed at the Winter Olympic Games. As of 2026, Oman has not won an Olympic medal. Its best Olympic result remains Mohamed Al-Malky's eighth-place finish in the men's 400 metres at the 1988 Summer Olympics.
