The USGA Women's State Team Championship was created by the United States Golf Association in 1995, capping off the organization's centennial celebration. It ran for 22 years, last taking place in 2017. What follows is a look back at this former USGA national championship, its format, its winners, its golf courses.

The 2028 Presidents Cup will be the 17th time this tournament is played. Played on an every-other-year basis, it was first contested in 1994. Today, it takes place in even-numbered years.
