The 2016 European Amateur Team Championship took place 5–9 July at Golf de Chantilly, outside Paris, France. It was the 33rd men's golf European Amateur Team Championship.
Venue
Golf de Chantilly
The hosting club, Golf de Chantilly, was founded in 1909. The Vineuil Course, situated in Chantilly, in the forest of the Hauts-de-France region of Northern France, 50 kilometres (30 miles) north of the center of Paris, close to the Château de Chantilly and Chantilly Racecourse, was originally designed by John Henry Taylor and later redesigned by Tom Simpson and Donald Steel. It had previously hosted eleven editions of the Open de France, the first in 1913 and the latest in 1990.
The championship course was set up with par 71.

Each team consisted of six players, playing two rounds of an opening stroke-play qualifying competition over two days, counting the five best scores each day for each team.15 June 2016 Goda medaljchanser för Sverige i golf-EM Medal chances for Sweden at the European Amateur Team Championship https://golf.se/pressrum/2016/06/goda-medaljchanser-for-sverige-i-golf-em/ 3 June 2021 Swedish Golf Federation Swedish
The eight best teams formed flight A, in knock-out match-play over the next three days. The teams were seeded based on their positions after the stroke play. The first placed team was drawn to play the quarter-final against the eight placed team, the second against the seventh, the third against the sixth and the fourth against the fifth. Teams were allowed to use six players during the team matches, selecting four of them in the two morning foursome games and five players in to the afternoon single games. Teams knocked out after the quarter-finals played one foursome game and four single games in each of their remaining matches. Games all square at the 18th hole were declared halved, if the team match was already decided.
The eight teams placed 9–16 in the qualification stroke-play formed flight B, to play similar knock-out play, with one foursome game and four single games in each match, to decide their final positions.

Team France earned first place on the tie breaking better non-counting scores. Eleven-time-winners England did not make it to the quarter-finals, finishing tenth. Sweden, tied 12th after the first round, was close to miss the quarter-finals, but finally, just like as at last year's championship, by a single stroke took the last place among the top eight teams. Sweden eventually came close to winning the championship.
There was no official award for the lowest individual score, but individual leader was Antoine Rozner, France, with a 6-under-par score of 136, one stroke ahead of John Axelsen, Denmark.
Defending champions team Scotland won the gold medal, earning their eighth title, beating team Sweden in the final 5–2.
