The competition was held for the first time in 2002 at the Oak Ridge Country Club in Minnesota, USA which was won by the host nation team. They are the current champions as well. The Junior Solheim Cup is held over a span of two days. There are six foursome matches and six fourball matches on the first day. The second day hosts twelve single match events.

Competition Format

The Junior Solheim Cup follows the match-play format.
It is a type of scoring system wherein each team is awarded a point when a player or a representative of that particular team scores a hole.
The match-play format consists of a scoring system where every player can earn a maximum of 1 point for each hole they put the ball in. The player with the lowest score gets 1 point for any given hole.
If the players are tied, then the hole is halved.
If there is a tie at the end of the final match, the players usually continue playing till one player wins a hole. This is known as "Sudden Death".
