Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

American Samoa competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from July 24 to August 9, 2020, the Games were postponed to July 23 to August 8, 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The country's participation in Tokyo marked its ninth consecutive appearance in the Summer Olympics since its debut in the 1988 Summer Olympics.

The American Samoa delegation included six athletes: sprinter Nathan Crumpton, sailors Adrian Hoesch and Tyler Paige, swimmers Micah Masei and Tilali Scanlan, and weightlifter Tanumafili Jungblut. Crumpton, Masei, and Scanlan were invited through universality slots, Jungblut was invited through a tripartite invitation quota, and the two sailors qualified through class-associated World Championships and continental regattas. Jungblut and Scanlan were the flagbearers for the opening ceremony, while Crumpton held it at the closing ceremony. No athletes earned medals, and as of these Games, American Samoa has yet to earn an Olympic medal.
