A team of seven athletes in two sports competed for the country.[1][4] Cristian Javier Simari Birkner, an alpine skier, was the flagbearer for the second consecutive games.

According to the final quota allocation released on 20 January 2014, Argentina had six athletes in qualification position.[5] The non-selection of three-time Olympian Maria Belen Simari Birkner led to her brother Cristian, who made the team, to lead a petition to have her as a part of the team. They claimed the selection of athletes made no sense and was purely subjective.[6] The appeal was ultimately unsuccessful.[7]
