The Americas Cup was a biennial men's team golf tournament between teams of amateurs golfers from the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The matches followed on from an informal match that had been played in 1951 at Saucon Valley Country Club between teams from the United States and Canada.
A trophy was donated by Jerome P. Bowes, Jr.[1] The event was held in even-numbered years from 1952 to 1960 when there was no Walker Cup match.
The venue cycled between the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Until 1967 teams consisted of seven players, six of whom played in each session.
