The Women's Amateur Championship is one of the leading championships in amateur golf for female golfers.

The championship, founded in 1893, attracts an international field with an impressive list of former winners including McCormack Medal winner Leona Maguire and major champions Georgia Hall and Anna Nordqvist. This year's Women's Amateur Championship will take place at Muirfield in Scotland from 22-27 June. Muirfield hosted the AIG Women's Open in 2022 and is regarded as one of the best links courses in the world. Paula Martin Sampedro claimed victory in The 122nd Women's Amateur Championship at Nairn in June 2025, the Spaniard edged out the USA's Farah O'Keefe 2&1 in a fabulous 36-hole final that saw both players excel.
