In the team competition there are three groups for both the trial round and the two competition rounds. One competitor from each team is entered per group. Female competitors from Ski Jumping start in the first group, then male competitors from Nordic Combined in the second group and then male competitors from Ski Jumping in the third group. After the first round, only the top eight teams will continue to the final round. During the final round, the last group will start in reverse order of the team's rank after the second group.
