The United States team won the Trophy, defending their title from two years ago and winning their fifth consecutive title, beating team Great Britain & Ireland and team South Africa by 16 strokes. Great Britain & Ireland and South Africa tied for the silver medal.
The Trophy was originally planned to be played in Malaysia, but the World Amateur Golf Council moved the event as Malaysian immigration laws would have seen the South African delegation refused entry into the country.
