Format

​

The Biggles Cup is awarded to the winning team and is competed for in a Ryder Cup format.

 

The first days of competition featured foursomes and four-ball matches. Later, singles matches were introduced. The order is determined by the home team captain.

 

As with the Ryder Cup, if the matches end in a draw, the team holding The Biggles Cup retains it.
