1909 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships

The 4th Artistic Gymnastics World Championships were held in Luxembourg, in conjunction with the 9th Federal Festival of Luxembourg, on August 1, 1909.

The countries sending teams to the games were France, Bohemia (i.e., the Czechs), Belgium, Carniola (i.e., Slovenia), and Italy.

The championships were purely team events without any individual awards. Individual all-round scores were only introduced in 1922, with the first all-round individual men's champion being recognised in that year. Individual apparatus scores were introduced subsequently. As such no actual individual medals were awarded at these games, the below rankings were conferred retrospectively.

Conversely, contemporaneous, detailed coverage – beyond merely team totals – of select World Championships prior to World War I exists both in the pages of “Slovenski Sokol” magazine (via the Digital Library of Slovenia) and in reproductions of apparently original and contemporaneous Czech source materials (via Gymnastics-History.com) for both the 3rd (1907) and 6th (1913){{cite news|editor-last=Murnik |editor-first=Viktor (Dr.) |title=Slovenci na mednarodni tekmi v Parizu |trans-title=Slovenians at an international competition in Paris
