The men's team foil event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on 4 August 2024 at the Grand Palais strip.[1] 24 fencers (eight teams of three) from eight nations competed.[2]

Qualification

A National Olympic Committee (NOC) could enter a team of three fencers in the men's team foil. These fencers also automatically qualified for the individual event.[2]

The tournament was a single-elimination tournament, with classification matches for all places. Each match featured the three fencers on each team competing in a round-robin, with nine three-minute bouts to five points; the winning team was the one that reaches 45 total points first or was leading after the end of the nine bouts.[3]
