The tug of war contest at the 1920 Summer Olympics was held on August 17, 1920, and on August 18, 1920. All medals were decided by using the Bergvall system.

This was the last time the tug of war was in the Olympic program. The British team entirely consisted of City of London Police officers and so the gold medal is still at that force's museum.[1]
