The men's team foil competition at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok was held on 15 December 1998 at the Thammasat Gymnasium 4.
The field of nine teams competed in a single-elimination tournament to determine the medal winners. Semifinal losers proceeded to a bronze medal match. Each match features the three fencers on each team competing in a round-robin, with 9 three-minute bouts to 5 points; the winning team is the one that reaches 45 total points first or is leading after the end of the nine bouts. Standard foil rules regarding target area, striking, and priority are used.
The top seed China (Dong Zhaozhi, Lin Liang, Liu Yuntao and Wang Haibin) won the gold medal after beating Japan (Yusuke Aoki, Hiroki Fujii, Hiroki Ichigatani and Naoto Okazaki) in the final 45-35. South Korea (Kim Seung-pyo, Kim Woon-sung, Kim Young-ho and You Bong-hyung) won the bronze medal by a 45-34 win over Kuwait (Othman Al-Shammari, Salman Mohammad, Abdulmohsen Shahrayen and Fares Abdulrazzaq).
