Format
The cup is played over three days with four teams of nine players each. There are 34 matches – eight four-balls day one, eight foursomes day two, and 18 singles on the final day.
In 2015, three points were awarded for each win and one point for halved matches. This is a similar format to the Solheim Cup. The winner was based on cumulative score over all three days.
In 2016, the format changed in two ways. Two points were awarded for each win and one point for halved matches. Based on the score from the first two days, the leading two teams faced off on the third day for the championship and the third and fourth place team played for third place.
2015
After the final round at Miyoshi Country Club in 2015, the Japanese team ended with 41 points, just three ahead of the Koreans, who won eight of their nine singles matches. The LET team finished third with the ALPG in fourth.
