The Eisenhower Trophy is presented to the World Men's Amateur Team Champions every two years. Inaugurated at St Andrews, Scotland, in 1958 the trophy is named after the former USA President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was a keen golfer. In addition to the trophy, members of the winning team also receive gold medals, while silver medal are awarded to the runners-up, and bronze medals to the third placed team.

It is a truly international event and hosted by a different country every two years. The inaugural winners in 1958 were the then 4-man Australian team of  Doug Bachli, Bruce Devlin, Bob Stevens, and Peter Toogood. They beat the USA in a play-off after a tie for first place. That is the only time in the event’s 67-year history there has been a tie for the gold medal position.

Currently restricted to 36 teams of three golfers who each play 72 holes stroke play with the lowest aggregate scores of the best two players each day counting towards the final places. Between 1958-2000 it was the best three scores from four players.

The women's equivalent, the World Women's Amateur Team Championship, is for the Espirito Santo Trophy, and is held at the same venue, and at the he same time, as the men’s event

All results correct up to and including the 2025 Event.

In addition to those shown above, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, and Scotland are the only other countries to have won the trophy.

Between 1958-2000, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland played as one team under the banner  "Great Britain and Ireland". However, since 2002, England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland (a combined Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland team) have competed as separate teams.
