context_page_description: The Polish Athletics Championships is an annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Polish Athletic Association, which serves as the Polish national championship for the sport. It is typically held as a three-day event in the Polish summer, ranging from late June to early August. The venue of the championships changes annually.
  Following the establishment of the PZLA in 1919, the national championships was first held in 1920 as a men-only event. The first two championships were held in Lviv as this city was the headquarters of the national sports body and home to the only modern athletics stadium in the country. Women's events were included shortly after in 1922. The women's' championships were contested separately from the men's from 1925 to 1949. The championships has been contested every year since its inception, bar a brief period from 1940–44 when World War II led to abandonment of the competition.
