The event is contested by the six states of Australia. The format is a
round-robin tournament, each team playing the other five teams, after which the top two teams play a final. From 2023 each team consists of up to 10 players, five men and five women, although only four men and four women play in each match. In 2022 there were just four men and four women in each team. There are eight singles in each match, men playing men and women playing women, all contests being over 18 holes. Extra holes are not played. Final positions after the round-robin are decided firstly by the number of team points. Each team get half a point in a tied team match. Where teams are level on team points, the order is decided on individual matches won. The leading two teams after the round-robin contest a final, to determine the winner of the event. ==Results==
