Like the Walker Cup, the St Andrews Trophy is a biennial international match which takes place in non-Walker Cup years. 

It is contested by talented amateur golfers from Great Britain and Ireland and the Continent of Europe, using a format which mirrors that of its more well-known counterpart. It was first played in 1956 over the West Course at Wentworth.
