The Hungarian team matched their achievement of 1968 by adding the team title to the individual honours they had won a few days earlier. The winning team included three members, Csaba Fenyvesi, Győző Kulcsár and Pál Schmitt, who had also competed in Mexico City.

Hungary recovered from an early loss to Sweden to win the title fairly comfortably. They defeated Switzerland in the final.
