Format

The Jacques Leglise Trophy is an annual international match played between two selected teams of nine amateur boy golfers representing Great Britain & Ireland and the Continent of Europe.

Information

The match between GB&I Boys and the Continent of Europe was inaugurated in 1958, but not until 40 years later was the event first played in Europe. GB&I dominated the early encounters, losing only three times before 1995. Yet the strength of European golf has improved dramatically and the following six matches were equally shared. The GB&I team is selected by The R&A and the Continent of Europe side by the European Golf Association.
