Format

The contest is a three-day competition, with three foursomes and three fourball matches on each of the first two days, and eight singles matches on the final day, a total of 20 points.

Each of the 20 matches is worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match is all square after the 18th hole extra holes are not played. Rather, each side earns ½ a point toward their team total. The team that accumulates at least 10½ points wins the competition. In the event of a tie, the current holder retains the Cup.

Teams

Eight players for Great Britain & Ireland and USA participate in the event plus one non-playing captain for each team.

Two members of the Great Britain & Ireland team will be selected automatically, the top two in the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) as of 11 May 2020. The remaining six will be picked by the R&A Women's Selection Committee.[3] The American team is selected by the USGA’s International Team Selection Committee.
