The 40th Curtis Cup Match was played from June 8âÂÂ10, 2018 at Quaker Ridge Golf Club, Scarsdale, New York. The United States dominated the match, winning by 17 matches to 3 including all 8 of the singles matches.
The contest was a three-day competition, with three foursomes and three fourball matches on each of the first two days, and eight singles matches on the final day, a total of 20 points.
Each of the 20 matches is worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match is all square after the 18th hole, extra holes are not played. Rather, each side earns a point toward their team total. The team that accumulates at least 10 points wins the competition. In the event of a tie, the current holder retains the Cup.
Eight players for the USA and Great Britain & Ireland participated in the event plus one non-playing captain for each team.
The American team was selected by the USGAâÂÂs International Team Selection Committee.
Two members of the Great Britain & Ireland team were selected automatically, the top two in the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) as of April 25, 2018. The remaining six were picked by the R&A Women's Selection Committee. Leona Maguire, second in the world rankings, ruled herself out, as she intended to turn professional before the event.
