n this paper, the effective area of the ARGO‐YBJ experiment to detect the gamma rays with energy range from 10 GeV to 1 TeV for different incident zenith angles (0,10,20,30,40 degrees) is given respectively. The optimal event selections to search for GRB counterparts with different cutoff energy models (Ecut = 100 GeV and 1 TeV) are studied. Using these selections and their corresponding angular resolutions the searches are done within two hours around the GRB trigger time via different time windows. Finally, the result for the 20 GRBs in the field of view of ARGO between July 2006 and July 2008 is presented, and the fluence upper limit for each GRB is set at 99% confidence level
