Ireland will be hoping to end a 43-year wait for victory in the European Ladies’ Team Championship when PGA National Slieve Russell hosts the top amateur event next year.
The European Golf Association awarded the event to Golf Ireland following a detailed bidding process.
It will be just the third edition of the event held on the island of Ireland, following stagings at Hermitage in 1979 and Royal County Down in 2021.
Twenty national teams from around Europe will tee it up at the 300-acre Co Cavan resort from July 7-11 with Ireland seeking its third victory in the event following triumphs at Hermitage in 1979 and Waterloo in Belgium in 1983.
“We’re thrilled to see the European Ladies’ Team Championship returning to Ireland next summer,” said Golf Ireland CEO, Mark Kennelly.
“Slieve Russell is a superb venue and an ideal setting for one of Europe’s greatest amateur events. Over the years, some of the biggest names in women’s golf have featured and we look forward to welcoming the continent’s top players in July.”
Golf Ireland’s High Performance Director, Neil Manchip, is confident that the Ireland team will be up for the challenge.
