A measurement of the inclusive cross section $\sigma_{\text{incl}}$ for the production of a Higgs boson decaying into a pair of tau leptons, $\text{H}\to\tau\tau$, is presented. The measurement is based on pp collision data collected by the CMS experiment in 2016 and 2017 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 77.4~\text{fb}^{-1} at a center-of-mass energy of 13~\text{TeV}. A value of \sigma_{\text{incl}}\,\mathcal{B}(\text{H} \rightarrow \tau\tau)=2.56\pm0.48\,(\text{stat})\pm0.34\,(\text{syst})~\text{pb} is obtained. Results are also presented in terms of cross sections for individual production modes and kinematic regimes.
