The team dressage competition of the equestrian events at the 2015 Pan American Games took place July 11–12 at the Caledon Equestrian Park.

The first round of the team dressage competition was the FEI Prix St. Georges Test. The Prix St. Georges Test consists of a battery of required movements that each rider and horse pair performs. Five judges evaluate the pair, giving marks between 0 and 10 for each element. The judges' scores are averaged to give a final score for the pair.

The top 9 team competitors in that round advanced to the final round. This second round consisted of an Intermediare I Test, which is a higher degree of difficulty. The 9 best teams in the Intermediare I Test advance to the final round. That round consists of, the Intermediare I Freestyle Test, competitors designe their own choreography set to music. Judges in that round evaluate the artistic merit of the performance and music as well as the technical aspects of the dressage. Final scores are based on the average of the Freestyle and Intermediare I Test results.
