In the final round of 8 singles, Great Britain and Ireland had just one win, by Allan Brodie, while the United States won the other 7 matches for a convincing win.

Each of the 24 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition.

Rather, each side earned ½ a point toward their team total.

If the two teams were tied, the previous winner would retain the trophy.

Ten players for the United States and Great Britain & Ireland participated in the event plus one non-playing captain for each team.
