It is co-organized by the United States Golf Association and The R&A and is contested by teams representing the United States and “Great Britain and Ireland”.

Officially named “The Women’s International Cup,” the cup for the Curtis Cup Match was officially presented in 1932 by Harriot and Margaret Curtis, sisters who won the U.S. Women’s Amateur four times between them.

What is the male equivalent of the Curtis Cup?

The Curtis Cup is the most prestigious team trophy for women amateur golfers and is contested biennially by teams representing Great Britain and Ireland and the United States.

The same two teams originally contested the Ryder Cup, but unlike that competition, the Curtis Cup has not widened the Great Britain and Ireland team to include all Europeans (nor has the analogous event for amateur men, the Walker Cup).
