Fifteen golfers have been selected to play for Great Britain and Ireland in the Jacques Léglise Trophy and the Junior Vagliano Trophy in Ireland this week.
Both junior international matches take place at The Island north of Dublin on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 August. The Jacques Léglise Trophy is a team encounter for boys aged 18 or under involving GB&I against the Continent of Europe.
Most recently, the Continent of Europe defeated GB&I in 2025 with a 15-10 victory at the Royal Golf Club of Belgium and GB&I are this week aiming to win the trophy for the first time since triumphing in Finland in 2018.
The Junior Vagliano Trophy, an amateur team match for girls aged 16 or under, is also contested between Great Britain and Ireland and the Continent of Europe. GB&I triumphed in 2024 at West Lancashire before the Continent of Europe regained the trophy last year at Koninklijke Haagsche Golf & Country Club in the Netherlands.
