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 ends all square after the 18th hole extra holes were not played. Rather, each side earned 1⁄2 point toward their team total. The team that accumulates at least 101⁄2 points won the competition. In the event of a tie, the current holder retains the Cup.
