Women's Home Internationals

The Women's Home Internationals are an amateur team golf championship for women contested between the four Home Nations of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, where Ireland is represented by the whole island of Ireland on an All-Ireland basis. After the Ladies' Golf Union, the former governing body for women's golf in Great Britain and Ireland, merged into The R&A in 2016, The R&A took over organisation of the event. The match is played annually and the venue cycles between the four nations.

History

The first Home International Match was played between England and Ireland in 1895 at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. The 1904 Home Internationals were played at Royal Troon and marked Scotland's first appearance and victory in the match. 1905 saw the introduction of the International Shield presented to the winning team. From 1907 all the countries from Great Britain were represented when Wales joined the competition.

Format

The championship is played over three days with the four teams competing against each other in individual matches. A match consists of three foursomes and six singles each over 18 holes. The scores are calculated by team results with each team scoring one point for a team win and half a point for a halved match. Ties are resolved by aggregating the number of holes played in the individual games won and the team with the fewest holes played is declared the winner.
