History
The Jacques Léglise Trophy is an international match played every year between elite male junior golfers from the Continent of Europe and Great Britain & Ireland.
The EGA Selects the Continent of Europe team and hosts the match when played on the Continent, while The R&A selects the GB&I team and hosts every other edition.
The match can trace its origins back to 1958, when a one-day match between Europe and a combined English and Scottish team was played immediately before the Boys’ Amateur Championship. The England and Scotland team dominated to such an extent that the match was discontinued in 1966. It was rejuvenated in 1977 when the Jacques Léglise Trophy was presented by Jean-Louis Dupont, a renowned French amateur champion and former president of the EGA and French Golf Federation, and has been played every year since.
Up until 1995 it was played over one day in connection with the Boys’ Amateur, and since 1996 it has been played separately as a two-day match.
