The French International Amateur Championship is an annual amateur golf tournament that is held in France and organised by the Fédération Française de Golf.[1]

The French Open Amateur Championship was established in 1904 and used match play format. In 1986, a national open amateur 72-hole stroke play championship was instituted. The French Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship elevated the standing of the pre-existing Grand Prix de Chantilly, established in 1945 and held at Golf de Chantilly in Vineuil-Saint-Firmin. From this time, the match play championship was held in alternate years until 2001, after which it was discontinued. The match play returned annually for three years from 2008 to 2010 before being discontinued once more.[2][3]

Trophies[edit]

The French Open Amateur Championship was played for the Trophée Gordon Bennett. When the stroke play championship began, the match play championship retained this trophy. The French Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship adopted the Grand Prix de Chantilly's Coupe Murat, named for the grandson of Joachim, 6th Prince Murat, president of Chantilly Golf Club between 1909 and 1932.[4]

In 2023, the Coupe Murat was transferred to the French Open Mid-Amateur Championship, for over 35s,[5] and the Trophée Gordon Bennett returned to the men's open amateur.[2][3]
