Vagliano Trophy

The Vagliano Trophy is a biennial women's amateur golf tournament. It is co-organised by The R&A and the European Golf Association and is contested by teams representing "Great Britain and Ireland" and the "Continent of Europe". It is played in odd-numbered years; the Curtis Cup being played in even-numbered years.

The event started in 1931 as a match between Great Britain and France. It was played annually from 1931 to 1939 and from 1947 to 1949, before becoming a biennial event from 1949 to 1957. Britain won 15 of the 16 matches with the 1934 match being tied. From 1949 to 1957 Great Britain had also played a biennial match against Belgium. In 1959 the two matches were replaced by one with Britain playing a team representing the Continent of Europe, the Vagliano Trophy being used for the new event.

The trophy was given by André Vagliano, a French golfer and official in the French Golf Federation and also father of Lally Segard, who played in this match on 13 occasions. The Ladies Golf Union initially declined to accept the trophy but changed their mind in late 1932, accepting the Curtis Cup at the same time.

Format
The competition involves various match play matches between players selected from the two teams of 8, either singles and foursomes. The winner of each match scores a point for their team, with half a point each for any match that is tied after 18 holes. If the entire match is tied, the previously winning team retains the Trophy.

A foursomes match is a competition between two teams of two golfers. The golfers on the same team take alternate shots throughout the match, with the same ball. Each hole is won by the team that completes the hole in the fewest shots. A fourball match is a competition between two teams of two golfers. All four golfers play their own ball throughout the round. Each hole is won by the team whose individual golfer had the lowest score. A singles match is a standard match play competition between two golfers.

The contest is played over two days, with four foursomes and eight singles matches on each day, a total of 24 points. Before 1975 there were five foursomes and ten singles matches each day. In 1959 and 1961 there were five 36-hole foursomes on the first day and ten 36-hole singles on the second. All matches after 1961 have been over 18 holes.

Results
Since the Continent of Europe replaced France in 1959.

Of the 31 contests from 1959 to 2019, Great Britain and Ireland have won 15, the Continent of Europe have won 15 matches with 1 match tied (1979).

The results of matches against France between 1931 and 1957 are given below. Matches consisted of three foursomes matches and six singles matches, played on a single day.

Britain won 15 of the 16 matches with the 1934 match being tied.

Great Britain & Ireland v Belgium
From 1949 to 1957 Great Britain & Ireland also played a match against Belgium. The match was played just before or just after the match against France, Great Britain & Ireland using the same squad for both matches, Great Britain & Ireland won all five matches by large margins. In 1950 Margaret Wallace-Williamson presented a trophy for the event.
