The 2016 European Amateur Team Championship took place 5–9 July at Golf de Chantilly, outside Paris, France.

It had previously hosted eleven editions of the Open de France, the first in 1913 and the latest in 1990.

Games all square at the 18th hole were declared halved, if the team match was already decided.

Team France earned first place on the tie breaking better non-counting scores.

Sweden, tied 12th after the first round, was close to miss the quarter-finals, but finally, just like as at last year's championship, by a single stroke took the last place among the top eight teams.

The final was decided when Scotland's 19-year-old, future European Tour winner, Robert McIntyre made a long putt for birdie on the 18th green in his single game against Sweden's Oskar Bergqvist.
