Main article: Killarney Golf & Fishing Club

The club was founded in 1893, but moved in 1937 to build two 18-hole courses 3 kilometres west of Killarney, Ireland, in Killarney National Park, surrounded by the lakes of Lough Leane. The championship was played in 1975 at the club's 18-hole Mahony's Point Course, opened in 1939. The 2025 European Amateur Team Championship is played at the Killeen course, built in 1937. It has formerly been the venue for the Irish Open on the European Tour in 1991, 1992, 2010 and 2011 and the Curtis Cup in 1996.[7][8]

Format

[edit]

Each team consisted of six players. On the first two days each player played 18 holes of stroke play each day. The lowest five scores from each team's six players counted to the team total each day.

The eight best teams formed flight A, in knock-out match-play over the following three days. The teams were seeded based on their positions after the stroke play. The first placed team was drawn to play the quarter final against the eight placed team, the second against the seventh, the third against the sixth and the fourth against the fifth. Teams were allowed to use six players during the team matches, selecting four of them in the two morning foursome games and five players in to the afternoon single games. Teams knocked out after the quarter finals played one foursome game and four single games in each of their remaining matches. Extra holes were played in games that were all square after 18 holes. However, if the result of the team match was already decided, undecided games were declared halved.[10]
