History[]

In 2018 the tournament replaced the Ladies' British Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship which was discontinued by The R&A in 2017 following the Ladies' Golf Union merger. It had been played since 1969.[2]

The inaugural championship took place at Fulford Golf Club near York in 2018, the venue that also hosted the inaugural Women's British Open in 1976.

Format[]

The championship consists of 54 holes of stroke play, played over three days with no cut, contested by a field of 90 players. Entry is open to female golfers who are under 16 years of age on 1 January in the year of the championship.[3]
