This was the inaugural International Crown, a biennial match play event contested between teams of four players representing eight countries.

The total points earned in pool and singles play determined the team champion.

[3] Source:[1] On November 13, 2013, eight teams qualified to participate in this event, based on the combined world rankings of the top four players from each country: Australia, Chinese Taipei, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, and the United States.

Park and Ryu (KOR) eliminated Kerr and Thompson (USA) on the first playoff hole and South Korea advanced to singles play.
