The French team was one of three to take part in the archery competitions in 1908. They dominated the Continental style of archery, with the 15 French archers taking the top 11 places, as well as 13th, 14th, 16th, and 17th. The two non-French archers in the event, a Briton and an American, took 12th and 15th, respectively. The team did not do as well in the York rounds, with none of the 10 French archers who also competed in it placing better than 16th.
