The Boston 2024 Partnership was a short-lived, privately funded bid to bring the 2024 Summer Olympics to the city of Boston, Massachusetts.[1] The official proposal was submitted on September 12, 2014.[2] On January 8, 2015, the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) chose Boston to compete with candidates around the world,[3] and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) would select the host city in 2017.[4]
Boston beat out Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, DC for the official US bid.[3] Boston was the only first-time bidder in the group.[5] Polls conducted in early 2015 indicated declining support in the Boston area for hosting the Olympics.[6] On July 27, 2015, the city and the USOC mutually agreed to terminate Boston's bid to host the Games.[7]
