European Girls' Team Championship Last updated July 13, 2025 The European Girls' Team Championship is a European amateur team golf championship for women up to 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]
Since the European Lady Junior's Team Championship for women under 22, was discontinued in 2006, due to the trend of players reaching elite level at an earlier age, the European Girls' Team Championship has been regarded as the most important junior team event in Europe outside the British Isles.
Many female European players on the world's leading professional golf tours have played in the event during their early careers. This include (as of August 2023) every European winner of LPGA Tour tournaments from 2014 except one (Suzann Pettersen , Anna Nordqvist , Caroline Masson , Carlota Ciganda , Charley Hull , Pernilla Lindberg , Georgia Hall , Céline Boutier , Madelene Sagström , Sophia Popov , Mel Reid , Matilda Castren , Leona Maguire , Nanna Koerstz Madsen , Maja Stark , Jodi Ewart Shadoff and Linn Grant and also American Jessica Korda representing the Czech Republic ).
The championship is a counting event for Junior Solheim Cup qualification. [ 2] [ 3]
The championship can be contested by women aged 18 years old or younger.
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.
Up to and including 2010, each team consisted of four players. The 2020 event took place in a reduced format, with four players in each team, due to the COVID-19 pandemic .
