The 2014 European Ladies' Team Championship took place 8–12 July at Diners CUBO Golf Course in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It was the 31st women's golf amateur European Ladies' Team Championship.

Venue

The course, located in Smlednik, in flat terrain without trees on the course, 12 kilometres north-east of the city center of Ljubljana, Slovenia, was designed by architect Peter Škofic and opened with 18 holes in 2009.[1] [2]

The course had previously hosted the 2012 individual European Ladies Amateur Championship.

The championship course was set up with par 71.

Format

All participating teams played two qualification rounds of stroke-play with six players, counted the five best scores for each team.

The eight best teams formed flight A, in knock-out match-play over the next three days. The teams were seeded based on their positions after the stroke-play. The first placed team was drawn to play the quarter-final against the eight placed team, the second against the seventh, the third against the sixth and the fourth against the fifth. In each match between two nation teams, two 18-hole foursome games and five 18-hole single games were played. Teams were allowed to switch players during the team matches, selecting other players in to the afternoon single games after the morning foursome games. Teams knocked out after the quarter-finals played one foursome game and four single games in each of their remaining matches. Games all square after 18 holes were declared halved, if the team match was already decided.

The eight teams placed 9–16 in the qualification stroke-play formed flight B, to play similar knock-out match-play, with one foursome game and four single games, to decide their final positions.
