The 1922 Women's Olympiad (Jeux Athlétiques Internationaux Féminins and Jeux Olympiques Féminins) was the second[1] international women's sports event, a 7-day multi-sport event organised by Alice Milliat and held on 15[2][3]– April 23[4][5][6][7] 1922[8][9] in Monte Carlo[10] at the International Sporting Club of Monaco. The tournament was formally called "Deuxiéme Meeting International d'Éducation Physique Féminine". It was also the second of three Women's Olympiads or "Monte Carlo Games"[11] held annually at the venue in Monaco,[12][13] and the second[14] forerunner of the quadrennial Women's World Games, organised in 1922–34 by the International Women's Sports Federation founded by Milliat in late 1921.
