European Boys' Team Championship

The European Boys' Team Championship (Jean-Louis Dupont Trophy) is a European amateur team golf championship for men up to 18 organized by the European Golf Association. The inaugural event was held in 1980 and it has been played annually since.[1][2][3]

Since the European Youths' Team Championship, for men under 22, was discontinued in 2006, due to the trend of players reaching elite level at an earlier age, the European Boys' Team Championship has been regarded as the most important junior team event in Europe outside the British Isles. Many European players on the world's leading professional golf tours have played in the event during their early careers. This include (as of end of 2022) almost every European winner of professional major championships since 2010; Graeme McDowell, Justin Rose, Martin Kaymer, Sergio Garcia, Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Danny Willett, Francesco Molinari, Jon Rahm,[4] Shane Lowry and Matt Fitzpatrick.[5]

The championship is a counting event for the Junior Ryder Cup qualification.[6]

Format

The format consists of 16 nation teams, each of 6 players, competing in two rounds of stroke play, out of which the five lowest scores from each team's six players will count each day. The total addition of the five lowest scores will constitute the team's score and determine which team is qualified for the last three rounds of match play.

Only teams in contention for a medal will play a match format of two foursomes and five singles, while the other teams will play a one foursome and four singles match format.

Initially there were four players in each team and from 1982 until 1984 there were five players in each team. The number of participating teams has been restricted to 20 from 2004 and to 16 from 2012 and a second division tournament was introduced, making it possible for nations to qualify for the first division championship. The 2021 event took place in a reduced format, with eleven teams playing, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, why 18 teams were allowed to compete in 2022.
