国庆节是一个国家政治性最浓重的节日。但是，各国国庆节的名称以及日期的确定却不尽相同。从名称上说，世界上称“国庆节”或“国庆日”的有中国、法国等约40个国家；称“独立日”或“独立节”的有美国、墨西哥、菲律宾、缅旬等约60个国家，称“共和日”或“共和国日”的有南斯拉夫、扎伊尔、冰岛等国家；称“革命节”的有原苏联、阿尔巴尼亚、匈牙利；称“联邦成立日”的有瑞士；称“联合日”的有坦桑尼亚；还有的直接以国名加上“日”的，如“澳大利亚日”和“巴基斯坦日”。从日期的含义上说，全世界包括我国在内，约有30个国家以建国日为国庆节；有的是以宪法颁布日为国庆节，如联邦德国；有的以革命起义日为国庆节，如法国；有的则以国家元首生日为国庆节，如日本、泰国、荷兰、丹麦、英国等国。有趣的是，这些国家随着国王、天皇或女王的更换而改变国庆节的日期。一般一个国家只有一个国庆日，但是，尼泊尔、瑞典、乌干达、几内亚共和国的丹麦却有两个国庆节。在尼泊尔，一个是“国家民主日”（2月18日），一个是国王的生日；在瑞典，一个是“国旗日”（6月6日），一个是国王的生日；在古巴，一个是“解放日”（1月1日），一个是“全国起义日”（7月26日）；在乌干达，一个是“独立日”（10月9日），一个是“第二共和日”（1月25日）；在几内亚共和国，一个是“宣布共和日”（10月2日），一个是“人民战胜侵略纪念日”（11月22日）：在丹麦，一个是“宪法日”（6月5日），另一个是女王生日。
世界历史上最悠久的国庆节是圣马力诺的国庆节。远在公元301年，圣马力诺就把9月3日定为自己的国庆节，至今已有1700多年的历史。
