[7] The 1935 event was held at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club from 7 to 9 August.

[9] There was a surprise on the opening day of the 1937 tournament at Portmarnock Golf Club when Wales tied their match with Scotland.

Played from 1 to 3 September it was the first time the event had been held in the Irish Free State.

[11] The 1939 matches were planned for 20 to 22 September at Royal Lytham but were cancelled because of the start of World War II.

Ireland won their opening two matches while Scotland beat England and tied with Wales.

This meant that Scotland needed to beat Ireland on the final morning to win the title.

Scotland held a 3–2 lead after the foursomes but Ireland won the singles 4–3 to tie the match and win the title outright for the first time.
