The men's team cross country event was part of the track and field athletics programme at the 1924 Summer Olympics. It was the third and last appearance of this event. The competition was held on Saturday, July 12, 1924.
Six nations competed as they have at least three competitors participating in the individual cross country race.
The first three runners for each nation to finish in the individual cross country race counted towards the team results.
