Australia won 3 of the 4 singles matches but after lunch three of the five Australian players were unable to play in the foursomes because of illness, and they had to concede the second foursomes match. New Zealand won the foursomes match that was played and the match was tied at 3 matches each. The result was decided on holes won and, with the conceded match being scored as a 10&8 win, New Zealand won by 13 holes to 8.

In 1964 matches were extended to 36 holes with two foursomes on the first day and five single on the second. the teams were level after the first day but Australia won three of the five singles matches to retain the cup. [22] From 1966 matches were reduced to 18 holes with the number of matches increasing. Two sets of foursomes were played on the first with two set of singles on the second. There were two foursomes and four single matches in each set of matches. Australia led 3–1 after the foursomes but New Zealand tied the match after the morning singles. Australia won two of the afternoon singles and halved the other two, to win the match 7–5. [23] At Wellington in 1968 New Zealand won for the first time since 1938. They led 3–1 after the first day foursomes and extended the lead after the morning singles. The afternoon singles session was tied, New Zealand winning the cup by a score of 7½–4½.
