The Trans Tasman Cup was an amateur team golf event played between Australia and New Zealand. It was played annually from 2007 to 2010 and finally in 2012. It was made up of four different contests: men, women, boys and girls. Each of the four contests had been held previously, but these events were the first time they had been held together with an overall winner. The overall result was determined by the combined score from all four contests. It was held by Golf Australia and New Zealand Golf. Australia won all five events.
The event was played over two days. Each team was made up of 16 players, four players for each of the four different contests. Two foursomes and four singles matches were played each day. All matches were over 18 holes.
The 2007 event was held on 22 and 23 February at the Royal Canberra Golf Club in Australia. Australia won the match 24½ to 23½, although they lost three of the four categories, only winning the girls event.[1][2]
