Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Men's team foil

The men's team foil competition of the fencing events at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, was held on October 28 at the Multipurpose Gymnasium. The defending champion was the team from the United States, who won the title in 2003 (this event was not held in 2007).

The team foil competition consisted of a three-round single-elimination bracket with a bronze medal match between the two semifinal losers and classification semifinals and finals for 5th to 8th places. Teams consist of three members each. Matches consist of nine bouts, with every fencer on one team facing each fencer on the other team. Scoring carried over between bouts with 45 touches being the team goal. Bouts lasted until one team reached the target multiple of 5 touches. For example, if the first bout ended with a score of 5–3, that score would remain into the next bout and the second bout would last until one team reached 10 touches. Bouts also had a maximum time of three minutes each; if the final bout ended before either team reached 45 touches, the team leading won. A tie at that point would result in an additional one-minute sudden-death period. This sudden-death period was further modified by selecting a draw-winner beforehand; if neither fencer scored a touch during the minute, the predetermined draw-winner won the bout.
