The 1987 European Ladies' Team Championship took place 8–12 July at Turnberry Golf Resort in South Ayrshire, Scotland, United Kingdom.

The Ailsa Course, situated 80 kilometres south of Glasgow, Scotland, on headland along the Firth of Clyde, overlooking the Isle of Arran and Ailsa Craig, was initially opened with 13 holes in 1901, designed by Willie Fernie, and later completed to 18 holes.

The five teams placed 9–13 in the qualification stroke-play formed Flight B, to meet each other over three rounds to decide their final positions.

Individual leader in the 36-hole stroke-play competition was Sofia Grönberg, Sweden, with a score of 1-under-par 145, one stroke ahead of Shirley Lawson, Scotland and Vicki Thomas, Wales.
