team event

Relay race, perhaps

A team event is a competition in which groups rather than individuals compete against each other.

The term appears most often in sports—relay races, synchronized swimming, doubles tennis—but extends to any organized contest where participants collaborate: Our company won the team event at the charity triathlon.

Distinguished from individual events in the same competition.
