The introduction of the team competition in alpine skiing was a reaction to the popular successes of the team competition in Nordic skiing .

The FIS rules stipulate that five athletes form a team, with the three best times added up for the competition. Two special forms of team competition are the “Combined Team Event” and the “Alpine Team Event”.

Two women and two men take part in a race for one team. For each series, the teams receive penalty points in the amount of their respective placements. The team with the fewest penalty points after both runs wins.

The team competition at professional level was held in this mode from 2005 to 2009.
