The Handa Cup is a series of senior women's golf matches between a United States team and an World Team drawn from players from the rest of the world. It was founded in 2006 and is an event on the LPGA Legends Tour.
The scoring system of the event is match play. The format is drawn from the Ryder Cup, consisting of twelve players per side and a non-playing captain, usually a highly respected golf figure. The captains are responsible for pairing the teams in the doubles events, which consist of both alternate shot and best ball formats (also known as "foursome" and "four ball" matches respectively).
