Kirk-Windeyer Cup
The Kirk-Windeyer Cup was an amateur team golf tournament, played between New Zealand and individual states of Australia. It was played annually from 1927 to 1930, then in 1932 and, finally, in 1934. New Zealand and New South Wales played in all six contests but the other states only entered occasionally. New Zealand and New South Wales each won the event three times.
