Event Brief
The Nomura Cup, also known as the Asia-Pacific Amateur Golf Team Championship, is a biennial amateur team golf championship for men. The inaugural event was held in 1963 as a tri-nation tournament in the Philippines when the host nation took on Japan and China. The tournament is held over four days with 18 holes of stroke play on each day, the best three daily rounds counting for the team score. The tournament has been dominated by Australia, who have won the Cup 10 times and Japan, who are seven-time winners. The winning team receives the Nomura Cup, which was named after Shun Nomura, the former Vice-President of the Japan Golf Association who donated the Cup. This event also has an individual champion.
