About the Championship

The Euro Junior Cup was established in 1998 by the Canadian Junior Golf Association. The event is conducted on some of the most historic courses in the world, around the home of golf in St. Andrews, Scotland.

The Euro Junior Cup provides junior golfers with an incredible opportunity to experience the history of the sport.

Four countries participate in the tournament: Canada (represented by the Canadian Junior Golf Association), the United States (represented by the San Diego Junior Golf Association), Scotland (represented by Fife Golf Union), and Mexico (represented by the Mexican Junior Golf Association).

This tournament has a unique format, with members of the four national teams playing in singles matches over four days of competition to determine the winner of the John Clark Trophy.

Participants, parents who may wish to come, and coaches will be staying in St. Andrews, Scotland, at the University of St. Andrews.
