The men's team military rifle, also referred to as the International, was one of 15 events on the Shooting at the 1908 Summer Olympics programme. Teams consisted of six shooters, with each shooter firing 90 shots at targets at varying distances. 15 shots were fired at each of 6 distances: 200, 500, 600, 800, 900, and 1,000 yards (910 m). A bulls-eye counted for 5 points, and thus the highest possible score for each shooter was 450 points, with the team maximum being 2700.

Each shooter was required to use his nation's official military rifle.
