Coronation Cup

The Coronation Cup is a historic golf tournament with several variations held around the world. One notable version is the Queen Elizabeth Coronation Schools Tournament, inaugurated in 1953 to mark the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. It is held annually in Autumn, traditionally at Barnton, and features teams of six players competing in a format of three couples playing foursomes. This event was established with support from Royal Burgess members and has become a well-regarded fixture in school and amateur golf in the UK. Another Coronation Cup exists as an inter-club handicap competition, such as the one in New Zealand and Kenya, reflecting its popular use as a name for competitive golf events at various levels. Exact tournament formats and organizers vary by location, but these events typically involve multiple rounds of match play or stroke play between teams or individual players, often with a prestigious trophy and long-standing tradition behind them.​ For a specific Coronation Cup event, further details like organizer contacts, event directors, and official websites depend on the tournament location and affiliated golf association or club. For example, the Queen Elizabeth Coronation Schools Tournament is overseen by the Royal Burgess Golfing Society. Other Coronation Cups are managed by local golf unions or clubs such as the Kenya Golf Union or Suffolk Golf Union.
