The '''Women's World Cup of Golf''' was a professional [[golf]] tournament contested by teams of two female golfers representing their respective countries. 

The tournament was played in several incarnations, first in 1992 as the [[Sunrise Cup World Team Championship]] held in Taiwan, and in 2000 at [[Adare Manor]] in [[Ireland]] sanctioned only by the [[Ladies European Tour]].<ref>{{cite web |title=TSN Ladies World Cup Golf |url=http://ladieseuropeantour.com/?tournament=tsn-ladies-world-cup-golf |publisher=Ladies European Tour |date=17 September 2000}}</ref> 

It was later played annually between 2005 and 2008 at [[Gary Player Country Club ]] in [[South Africa]], and sanctioned also by the [[LPGA|LPGA Tour]], money unofficial on both tours.<ref>[http://ladieseuropeantour.com/tournament/womens-world-cup-of-golf-5/ Women's World Cup of Golf], Ladies European Tour, 20 January 2008</ref> The purse in the final year was [[US$]]1.4 million. The field consisted of twenty-two teams and each qualifying country could field one team. It was held in January or February, at the beginning of the season for the world's dominant professional tours.<ref>{{cite web |title=Philippines win Women's Golf World Cup |url=http://www.southafrica.info/news/sport/golf-210108.htm |publisher=South Africa Info |date=21 January 2008}}</ref>

In 2014, the [[International Crown]] succeeded the event, a women's team golf tournament featuring national teams of four players.
