# Equestrian at the 1968 Summer Olympics – Team eventing

The team eventing at the 1968 Summer Olympics took place between 18 and 21 October. The event was open to men and women.

## Competition format

The competition included three segments: dressage, cross-country, and show-jumping. Penalties from each were summed to give a total score. Teams consisted of four horse and rider pairs, though only the best three scores counted for the team total. If a team had fewer than three pairs finish, the team received no score.

## Results

49 riders competed.
