Date22 – 23 July 1920 — 9:30
StatusOlympic
LocationHoogboom Country Club, Kapellen
Participants49 from 8 countries
FormatSix-man teams. 15 metre distance. Sets of 10, 10, 15, 15, 20, and 20 shots. After the first four sets (50 shots), only the top five teams qualified. 90 targets from a known trap with an unknown angle using a continuous-fire system; 10 targets from an unknown trap and unknown angle.

With the top five finishers in the individual event, the United States would be expected to dominate the team trapshooting. In fact, of the top five, one of them, Fred Plum, did not even count for the U.S. team. Of the seven stages in this event, the United States tied for the best score in one stage (the third with Belgium and Sweden), and won the other six stages. Well behind the Americans, Belgium won the silver medal and Sweden the bronze.
