Macau's Paralympic Committee was founded in 1979,[1] and the territory first competed at the Summer Paralympic Games in 1988.[2] It has competed in every edition of the Summer Games since then, but has never participated in the Winter Paralympic Games.[3]

Macau's competitors have never won a Paralympic medal.[4]

It is the smallest territory ever to have competed at the Paralympics.[5]

Macau has a Paralympic Committee, but no Olympic Committee, and does not participate in the Olympic Games. (along with Faroe Islands)
