2020 Curtis Cup


The 41st Curtis Cup Match was originally scheduled to be played 12–14 June 2020 at Conwy Golf Club near Conwy, Wales. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the R&A and USGA announced that the event would be postponed until 2021.

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 as of 11 May 2020. The remaining six will be picked by the R&A Women's Selection Committee.
The American team is selected by the USGA’s International Team Selection Committee.
