1975 European Amateur Team Championship

The tournament was played at the club's 18-hole Mahony's Point Course, opened in 1939 on the shore of Lough Leane, 3 kilometres west of Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland.

The course was set up with par 35 over the first nine holes and par 38 on the second nine, finishing with a par 3 hole.

The course was dry and the whether warm and sunny during the whole tournament.

All participating teams played one qualification round of stroke-play with six players, and counted the five best scores for each team.

The eight best teams formed flight A, in knock-out match-play over the next three days. The teams were seeded based on their positions after the stroke play. The first placed team was drawn to play the quarter-final against the eight placed team, the second against the seventh, the third against the sixth and the fourth against the fifth. In each match between two national teams, two 18-hole foursome games and five 18-hole single games were played. Teams were allowed to use six players during the team matches, selecting four of them in the morning foursome matches and five players in to the afternoon single matches. Games all square at the 18th hole were declared halved, if the team match was already decided.

The six teams placed 9–14 in the qualification stroke-play formed Flight B and the four teams placed 15–18 formed Flight C, to play similar knock-out play to decide their final positions.

18 nation teams contested the event. Each team consisted of six players.

Scotland won the gold medal, earning their first title, beating Italy in the final 4.5–2.5. The Scottish team won the qualifying competition for the fourth consecutive occasion and had previously in the history of the championship finished second three times, losing the last two finals to England.

Team Sweden, earned the bronze on third place, just as at the previous event two years earlier, after beating Switzerland 4–3 in the bronze match.

Defending champions England did not make it to the quarter-finals, finishing tied 8th in the qualifying competition and losing the tie-breaker to France with a one stroke higher non-counting sixth score. Team Wales' low scorer Jeff Toye holed from eight feet on both of his last two greens, giving his team a final one-stroke advantage over England and France, but the sixth score for Wales would not have beaten the sixth scores of neither England or France in the event of a tie.

Individual leader in the opening 18-hole stroke-play qualifying competition was Ian Hutcheon, Scotland, with a score of 3-under-par 70. There was no official award for the lowest individual score.
