Junior Solheim Cup
A version of the Solheim Cup for girls, called the PING Junior Solheim Cup, was inaugurated 2002. It follows a similar format to The Solheim Cup and features the top 12 U.S. amateur girls—defined as girls participating in American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) events—versus their European counterparts. The event is held over two days, with six fourball and six foursomes matches the first day, and twelve singles matches the second day. Each event to date has been held in the general vicinity of that year's Solheim Cup.
The home team won the first five events, with Team USA winning in 2002, 2005, and 2009, and Team Europe winning in 2003 and 2007. The sixth event ended in a tie.
