The 3rd Curtis Cup Match was played on 6 May 1936 on the King's Course at Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder, Perthshire, Scotland.

The match ended in a tie at 41⁄2 each and the United States, as the holders, retained the trophy.

America led 41⁄2–31⁄2 and had already retained the Cup but Britain could still tie the contest.

Cheney took 5 at the last but Anderson holed a putt of 7 or 8 yards for a 4, to win her match and tie the contest.

Eight players for Great Britain & Ireland and USA participated in the event.
