The team foil competition consisted of a three-round single-elimination bracket with a bronze medal match between the two semifinal losers and classification semifinals and finals for 5th to 8th places.

Scoring carried over between bouts with a total of 45 touches being the team goal.

Bouts lasted until one team reached the target multiple of 5 touches.

Bouts also had a maximum time of three minutes each; if the final bout ended before either team reached 45 touches, the team leading at that point won.

A tie at that point would result in an additional one-minute sudden-death time period.
