In this article, the objective is to analyze different methodologies related to benchmarking in a generic way and applied to sport, based on its importance, structure and applications. To the same extent, an analysis of the main methodologies and their adaptation to sport is shown. The methodology is divided into a general bibliometric analysis, and subsequently an evaluation of a sample of 25 benchmarking methodologies based on control questions, according to Valls theory. Roig which proposes that a benchmarking methodology answers four essential questions (MIAC): (M) what can be improved? (A) where to find someone to learn from?, (I) how to implement? and (C) how to continue benchmarking? Descriptive statistics were also performed using SPSS 28.0, hierarchical clustering, and influence analysis using MicMac. The main conclusion was that benchmarking uses methodologies widely used in various industries and sectors to improve the performance and efficiency of organizations, although it is significant to highlight that some of its components such as continuity are not institutionalized. In the field of sports, it has been applied in different areas, from sports systems management to athlete performance and data analysis. Through comparison with references and good practices, sports benchmarking allows us to identify strengths and areas for improvement, providing valuable information for decision-making and implementation of effective strategies in sports performance.
