Foil, Team, Men

Date	2 – 4 August 1936
Status	Olympic
Location	Haus des Sports, Kuppelsaal, Reichssportfeld, Berlin
Participants	97 from 18 countries

Since 1920, the team gold medal at foil had alternated between France and Italy. France were the reigning Olympic champions, but the European Championships (later reclassified as World Championships) had been the domain of the Italians in the intervening years. The two nations also provided five of the eight finalists in the individual event.

The Italians proved their superiority by recording large victories throughout the event. Italy whitewashed bronze medalists Germany 16-0 in the final pool, and beat France 9-4 in the decisive match.
