Daniel Andre Tande, Andreas Stjernen, Johann Andre Forgang and Robert Johansson finished well clear of Poland at the end of the large hill event in the Norwegian capital.
High above the city, Tande jumped 132.5m in both rounds, with he and his teammates producing consistently long and well-executed jumps.
Stjernen leapt to marks of 133 and 136m, while Forfang managed 131 and 134m, with Johansson finishing things with 133 and 132m.
Poland came home second trailing Norway’s mark of 1098.7 points with their own total of 1039.8.
Maciej Kot, Stefan Hula, Dawid Kubacki and Kamil Stoch put up a good fight, with the Olympic large hill champion Stoch posting the highest individual scores of the day.
But his marks of 140.8 and 144.8 points were not enough to close the gap on the Norwegians.
Austria finished third, with Germany fourth, meaning Norway moved to the top of the ski jumping Nations Cup, on 4955 points with Germany second on 4718 and Poland further back on 4316.
