The iconic course in Scotland will host the 45th edition of the Curtis Cup after Bel-Air Country Club in Los Angeles in 2026
Royal Dornoch in Scotland will stage the 45th Curtis Cup Match between Great Britain and Ireland and the United States of America in 2028.
The internationally renowned Championship Course in the Scottish Highlands will host the biennial team contest for the first time.
Royal Dornoch has an illustrious history of staging leading amateur events, including The Amateur Championship in 1985 and the Scottish Men’s Amateur Championship most recently in 2023. The R&A Women's and Men's Senior Amateur championships were held over the famed links in 2022, with the Vagliano and Junior Vagliano trophy matches also staged at the venue last year.
