History edit

The first contest was held at Victoria Golf Club in Melbourne in 1933. It was played on 1 September, after the qualifying rounds of the Australian Women's Amateur but before the start of the match-play stage.[3] Four singles were played in the morning and two foursomes in the afternoon. Australia won 3 of the 4 singles matches but after lunch three of the five Australian players were unable to play in the foursomes because of illness, and they had to concede the second foursomes match. New Zealand won the foursomes match that was played and the match was tied at 3 matches each. The result was decided on holes won and, with the conceded match being scored as a 10&8 win, New Zealand won by 13 holes to 8.[4] The second contest was held at Titirangi in 1934, Australia winning all six matches.[5] It was not played in 1935 but returned in 1936 and was played annually until 1954, except for a long gap from 1939 to 1948 because of World War II. From 1936 the order of the matches was changed, with foursomes in the morning and singles in the afternoon. The 1936 the match was played in Adelaide the day after the final of the Australian Women's Amateur, which had involved two of the New Zealand team.[6] However, Australia regained the cup, winning a close match at the final hole.[7] New Zealand won the cup at Napier in 1937, taking three of the four singles matches, and retained it in Sydney in 1938, again winning three singles matches.[8] In 1938 match was, as in 1933, played after the qualifying rounds of the Australian Women's Amateur.[9]

The contest resumed at Invercargill in 1949 with Australia winning after taking both the foursomes matches.[10] The 1950 match in Brisbane was played between the quarter and semi-finals of the Australian Women's Amateur[11] with Betty Kernot as manager.[12] The match was a tie with each team winning a foursomes and two singles. The result was decided, as in 1933, on holes ahead in those three matches, Australia winning by 11 holes to 9.[13] At Auckland in 1951 New Zealand led after the foursomes but Australia won three of the four singles, to retain the cup.[14] The 1952 match in Melbourne resulted in a tie. New Zealand won both foursomes but Australia won three of the four singles. Both teams were a total of 9 holes ahead in their three wins, so there was also a tie on countback, Australia retaining the cup as defending champions.[15] There format was revised in 1953 with five singles matches being played instead of four. Australia retained the cup in 1953 and 1954 winning 5–2 and 6–1, winning all five singles matches in 1954.[16][17]

In 1955 the New Zealand Ladies' Golf Union suggested that it became a biennial event and it was played on that basis from 1956.[18] The 1956 match at Ngamotu resulted in a tie. Unlike previous ties, the result was not decided on holes won. As in 1952 Australia retaining the cup as defending champions.[19] Australia won the 1958 match in Melbourne 7–0 and won again at Christchurch in 1960 by 5 matches to 1 with one match halved.[20][21] The 1962 match in Adelaide was very close. With the score level at three matches each, the result was decided by the final match. Gail Corry won the last three holes against Pat Bull to win her match and give Australia the cup.[22]

From 1964 the match was extended to two days. In 1964 matches were extended to 36 holes with two foursomes on the first day and five single on the second. the teams were level after the first day but Australia won three of the five singles matches to retain the cup.[23] From 1966 matches were reduced to 18 holes with the number of matches increasing. Two sets of foursomes were played on the first with two set of singles on the second. There were two foursomes and four single matches in each set of matches. Australia led 3–1 after the foursomes but New Zealand tied the match after the morning singles. Australia won two of the afternoon singles and halved the other two, to win the match 7–5.[24] At Wellington in 1968 New Zealand won for the first time since 1938. They led 3–1 after the first day foursomes and extended the lead after the morning singles. The afternoon singles session was tied, New Zealand winning the cup by a score of 7½–4½.[25] Australia regained the cup at Pymble in 1970, by the same score. They led 6–2 after the second day morning singles and although New Zealand won the final session, Australia won by three points.[26] The 1972 match at Christchurch produced a close finish. Australia led narrowly after the foursomes and with both singles session level they won by a single point, 7½–4½.[27] In Adelaide in 1974, Australia had their biggest win at that time, winning 10–2. New Zealand halved two of the foursomes matches and won one of the eight singles.[28] The next match was played the following year, 1975. New Zealand led after the first day but Australia again dominates the singles and won the match 8–4.[29]

The format was changed in 1977 so that there were foursomes on both mornings and singles in the afternoon. Australian won 9½–2½.[30] The next match was played at Rotorua in 1978. Australian led 5–1 after the first day but New Zealand won five of the six matches on the second day to tie the contest.[31] The next match was played at Southport in 1981. Australia led 4½-1½ after the first day and won narrowly 6½-5½ after a New Zealand fightback.[32] Australia won more convincingly 8½-3½ at Russley in 1983 and won a one-sided match 11-1 in Melbourne in 1985.[33][34] The Junior Tasman Cup was first played in 1983.[35] The 1987 contest in Wellington result in a tie. The teams were tied after the first day and still tied after the second. Australian won three of the afternoon four singles to tie the match.[36] There was another close match at Lake Karrinyup in 1989, Australia winning 6½-5½.[37]

From 1995 to 2003 the contest was extended, with three foursomes and six singles matches each day, returning to the earlier format in 2005. From 2007 to 2012 it was held as part of the Trans Tasman Cup, which also included men, boys and girls matches. It was played annually from 2007 to 2010 and finally in 2012.
