The 1964 Summer Olympics were hosted in Tokyo, Japan, providing the occasion for the full slate of Olympic artistic gymnastics competition. Qualification for apparatus finals was determined by the sum of compulsory and optional routine scores within team competition, continuing the format established at previous Games.
Fourteen artistic gymnastics events — eight for men and six for women — were held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium between 18 and 23 October 1964. Scoring was conducted by panels of four judges for men's events and five for women's events, with the highest and lowest scores dropped before averaging the remainder.
The competition followed and reinforced established Olympic gymnastics judging conventions, with the six best-performing gymnasts in team competition advancing to individual apparatus finals. Results contributed to the ongoing international development of artistic gymnastics as a major Olympic discipline.
