The men's team event was part of the gymnastics programme at the 1928 Summer Olympics. It was one of seven gymnastics events for men and was the sixth Olympic men's team gymnastic championship. Each national team dropped its two lowest scores on each apparatus to calculate the country's score for that apparatus; the five apparatus scores were then summed along with a team drill score to give a team total.

General notes:

All of the scores of the 2 lowest overall scoring gymnasts from each team were dropped from the team's overall scores. ^{[1] : 646}

Two different vaults were performed, ^{[1] : 646} however they were reported as one score, so in the table above, the vault score is included neither with the compulsory nor voluntary totals nor those respective rankings for the individual gymnasts.

Competitors are listed above in the same order that they were listed in the team results in the Official Olympic Report, ( ^{[1] : 661–667}) for the sake of easier fact-checking.

Footnotes:

† = As previously noted, there is an apparent computational error relevant to the bronze medal on the rings apparatus. The compulsory and voluntary scores, on this apparatus, of 4th place finisher (and eventual Olympic All-Around Champion from 1932), Romeo Neri of Italy, were reported in the team contest report as being 28.25 and 27.75, ^{[1] : 654} respectively, for a total of 56.00. The compulsory and voluntary scores, on this apparatus, of the bronze medalist, eventual repeat World All-Around Bronze Medalist (from 1930 and 1934) and eventual 1930 World Champion on Rings, Emanuel Löffler of Czechoslovakia, were reported in the team contest report as being 27.25 and 28.25, ^{[1] : 651} respectively, for a total of 55.50. However, in the Rings individual standings, Löffler's total apparatus score was listed at 56.50, ^{[1] : 660} instead of 55.50, which placed him in bronze medal position ahead of Neri whose total apparatus score was reported consistently. As previously noted, "[Löffler’s] score [of 55.50, rather than 56.50] is consistent with the individual all-around and team all-around scores for Löffler and Czechoslovakia", therefore, the overall weight of evidence points to Neri's score as the proper one for the bronze medal position.

†† = There were apparent computation errors for 4 of the 5 individuals who were ranked 19th-23rd in the General Individual Classification (their older terminology for what is now generally referred to as the "all-around"). The scores that were reported for them in the team competition, upon which all other individual standings and individual medal awards were based, were apparently computed inconsistently from the team competition to the General Individual Classification Standings:

• 19th place, from Finland, Martti Uosikkinen's 233.875 points ^{[1] : 651} in the team competition were reported in the General Individual Classification as being 231.875, putting him in 23rd place. ^{[1] : 668}
• 20th place, from Czechoslovakia, Bedřich Šupčík's scores were reported consistently.
• 21st place, from Italy, Mario Lertora's 232.875 points ^{[1] : 654} in the team competition were reported in the General Individual Classification as being 233.375, putting him in 19th place. ^{[1] : 668}
• 22nd place, from Hungary, István Pelle's 232.500 points ^{[1] : 653} were reported consistently, but the above inconsistencies had him in 21st place. ^{[1] : 668}
• 23rd place, from France, André Lemoine's 232.000 points ^{[1] : 652} were reported consistently, but the above inconsistencies had him in 22nd place. ^{[1] : 668}

††† = Finland's team totals for the first 3 listed (of 5) apparatuses reflect inconsistencies in calculations. Dropping the scores of their two lowest overall scorers, Kalervo Kinos and Birger Stenman, yields 274.500 points on Pommel horse, 306.000 points on Rings, and 314.500 points on the Horizontal bar, rather than the reported 265.500 points, 303.000 points, and 324.500 points, respectively. ^{[1] : 651} However, the overall total point discrepancy between those calculations and those that were reported would not have altered their final team ranking.
