| Location |  Luxembourg, Luxembourg |
The 4th Artistic Gymnastics World Championships were held in Luxembourg, in conjunction with the 9th Federal Festival of Luxembourg, on August 1, 1909.[1][2][3][4]
The countries sending teams to the games were France, Bohemia (i.e., the Czechs), Belgium, Carniola (i.e., Slovenia), and Italy.[5]
Medal table
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.[6] As such no actual individual medals were awarded at these games, the below rankings were conferred retrospectively.[7]

- Note
Official FIG documents credit medals earned by athletes from Bohemia as medals for Czechoslovakia. Medals earned by athletes from Austria-Hungary are officially credited as medals for Yugoslavia.[4]
