European Girls' Team Championship
The European Girls' Team Championship is a European amateur team golf championship for women under 18 organised by the European Golf Association. The inaugural event was held in 1991. It was played in odd-numbered years from 1991 to 1999 and has been played annually since 1999.[1]
The championship is a counting event for Junior Solheim Cup qualification.[2]
Format
The championship can be contested by women aged under 18 years old.
The format consists of 20 teams, each of 6 players, competing in two rounds of stroke play, out of which the five lowest scores from each team's six players will count each day. The total addition of the five lowest scores will constitute the team's score and determine which team is qualified for the last three rounds of match play.
Only teams in contention for a medal will play a match format of two foursomes and five singles, while the other teams will play a one foursome and four singles match format.
