Fencing masters events were contested among teaching professionals, and fencing was the only sport that allowed professionals in the early days of the Olympics. This event was on the Olympic Program in 1900 and 1906. At Paris, 27 fencers started from an original entry list of 44. The details of round one are not known, but 16 fencers advanced to two round-robin semi-finals pools, with the top four in each pool advancing to a final of eight fencers who contested a round-robin pool to determine the final placements. Italy took the top two places, with Antonio Conte going undefeated in the final pool, and his countryman, Italo Santelli, losing only his match against Conte.
