Girls Home Internationals

In its final format, the championship was played over three days with the four teams competing against each other in individual matches. A match consists of three foursomes and six singles each over 18 holes. The scores were calculated by team results with each team scoring one point for a team win and half a point for a halved match. Ties were resolved by the number of individual matches won. Each team had 7 players, although up to 2015 there were teams of 8.

From 1969 to 1975 the event was played on the Monday and Tuesday before the Girls Amateur Championship, with matches consisting of 7 singles matches over 18 holes. Two matches were played on the Monday and one on the Tuesday. From 1976 to 1978 it was held on the previous Thursday and Friday before returning to Monday and Tuesday in 1979. In 1990 the event was expanded to three days matches consisting of three foursomes and six singles.

Before the Girls Home Internationals was founded, an annual match had been played between England and Scotland since 1935. It was played immediately before the Girls Amateur Championship at the same venue.

The first match was held on Monday 2 September 1935 at Stoke Poges, before the Girls Amateur Championship. There were 7 singles matches, with Scotland winning 5 and England 2.[59] Extra holes were played to ensure a result. Scotland won all four matches that were played before World War II.[60] The match restarted in 1949 and was won first the first time by England.[61] There were just 5 singles matches in 1949 and 1950 but the number returned to 7 from 1951.[62] Foursomes matches were introduced in 1954, the match consisting of three foursomes and six singles.[63] Only five singles matches were played in 1955 with seven played in 1959.[64][65] In 1960 the match was extended to four foursomes and eight singles and resulted in a 6–6 tie.[66] Extra holes were dropped from 1964.[67] In 1965 the format returned to the earlier three foursomes and six singles, and resulted in a 4½–4½ tie.[68] In 1966, at Troon Portland, Scotland won for the first time since 1938.[69] In 1968 at Leven, the final match played before the start of the Home Internationals, resulted in the third tie in the match, 4½–4½.[70]
