Tokyo Olympics gold medallists Sweden added the world title to their collection, with the Netherlands taking silver, while Great Britain's showjumpers, led by the quartet of reigning Olympic individual champion Ben Maher, Scott Brash, Harry Charles and Joe Stockdale secured their first world team podium finish for 24 years in claiming bronze.
Germany took the fifth Olympic qualification position.
Sweden's Henrik von Eckermann leads the individual competition, which concludes with two more rounds of jumping at Herning's Stutteri Ask Stadium in Denmark.
Ireland has three riders qualified for Sunday's individual final, with Denis Lynch in 19th, Cian O’Connor in 20th and Bertram Allen in 21st place.
Irish team manager Michael Blake on qualifying for Paris, said: "Obviously we are delighted to take an Olympic qualification place at the very first opportunity as it now gives us two full years to prepare for the Games. It is slightly bittersweet as we came so close to winning a medal. It certainly was an exciting competition and all our guys fought hard to climb from ninth overall and finish in the top four.
"Congratulations to Sweden, The Netherlands and Britain on their medal wins and to Germany for also qualifying for Paris. None of this would be possible without the incredible owners we have, the grooms, and all those that put so much work into a successful result and I want to thank each and every one of them."
