It's the amount of things the team can achieve in a sprint.  Usually measured in story points, but could be hours or other numbers that measure how much they can do.

My team usually delivers 50 story points worth of work every two weeks (our sprints are two weeks).  So we say the team's "capacity" is 50 story points.
