Each pool was a round-robin (with matches not being held where unnecessary to the overall result). Bouts were to two touches, and each fencer from one nation had a bout against each from the opponent. The nation which won the most individual bouts took the team match (with total touches as the tie-breaker if the teams split 8-8). The top two nations in each pool advanced to the second round.
