The Yugoslavian Athletics Championships was an annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Athletic Federation of Yugoslavia, which served as the Yugoslavian national championship for the sport. The competition lasted from 1920 to 2002.
Starting as the championship for the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, it continued through to its successor, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which was made up of six socialist republics – Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia. The gradual breakup of Yugoslavia saw Slovenia and Croatia leave, and consequently hold their own national championships from 1992 onwards, and Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina broke away soon after. From 1992 the Yugoslavian Championships included athletes from Serbia and Montenegro only, and the country was renamed Serbia and Montenegro in 2003, bringing an end to the Yugoslavian era.[1][2]
