The defending champions were the Netherlands.

On 9 November, in the race in Calgary, the Dutch team, comprised by Koen Verweij, Jan Blokhuijsen and Sven Kramer, set a new world record with a time of 3:37.17.[2] In the next race, in Salt Lake City on 16 November, the same Dutch team improved the world record again, this time to 3:35.60.[3]

The Dutch team – with Blokhuijsen participating in all races – went undefeated through the season, and won the cup with the maximum points possible, 450, and a margin of 170 points to the next team. Behind Netherlands, it was a closer call, with three teams within 15 points. The United States team eventually took the silver, while Norway took the bronze, 5 points before Poland.
