The men's team archery competition at the 2012 Olympic Games in London was held on 27–28 July at Lord's Cricket Ground.[1] The event was one of four which comprised the 2012 Olympic archery programme.

Italy won the gold medal with Michele Frangilli, Marco Galiazzo and Mauro Nespoli. The United States won silver and South Korea won bronze.

Competition format

The teams were ranked 1st to 12th based on the three team members' ranking round results and this was used to seed them into a head-to-head knockout bracket.[2] Each member of the team shot eight arrows in a match (for a total of 24 arrows per team) and the team with the highest total won the match. The winner advanced to the next round while the loser was eliminated from the competition.

Schedule

All times are British Summer Time (UTC+1).
