The Polish team championship in chess in 1966 was the 22nd edition of this competition. The Polish team champion was the team from MKS Start Lublin, which relegated the defending champion SKS Start Łódź to second place.
21 teams had qualified for the preliminary round in the championships of the voivodeships , each of which played a simple round-robin tournament in three regional groups . The first two of all three groups qualified for the finals, for which the first six of the finals of the Polish team championship in 1965 were also pre- qualified . The number of points on the board (one point for a win, half a point for a draw, no point for a defeat), then the number of team points (two points for a win, one point for a draw, no point) decided the placement for defeat). The team was eight boards, with a youngster on the seventh board and a woman on the eighth board.
Dates and venues
