"How do the teams measure up" means "How do the teams compare (to something)." What you are comparing the team to depends on the context of the sentence. So if your team is the national champions you can ask "How does the team measure up to the international champions?" and you are asking how does your team compare to the international champions.
If you and the person you and the person you are talking to know what is being compared already that's when you can shorten it to "How does the team measure up?" So an example would be.
The international champions are also very good. How does the team measure up?
I hope this helps.
