Meanwhile, the format for the Curtis Cup is similar to that of the Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup. The contest is a three-day competition, with three foursomes and three four-ball matches on each of the first two days. However, there are eight singles on the final day, unlike the Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup, which have 12 singles on the last day.

Another difference is that the tournament is only limited to the players from Great Britain and Ireland. While in Solheim Cup and Ryder Cup, players from entire Europe compete against the team U.S. and try to win the trophy.
