The Espirito Santo Trophy is a biennial world amateur team golf championship for women organised by the International Golf Federation. The inaugural event was held in 1964 and recent tournaments have featured teams from around forty countries. It is a strokeplay event, in which the best two individual scores in each team count towards the final score. For the first three decades it was dominated by the United States, but recent results have reflected the increasingly globalisation of women's golf, with five different winners in five events from 1996 to 2004, and several top two placings by teams from Asia, including a win by South Korea.
The equivalent "World Amateur Team Championship" for men is the Eisenhower Trophy.
