The International is a team event played over two Sundays. Players join one of three teams based roughly on nationalities – England, Ireland and Rest of the World.

The first Sunday is played as a qualifier. The best six men and the best two ladies from each team qualify to represent their team in the second week. Both weeks are played as Stableford events.

The team with the best total score for it’s eight players wins on the second weekend. There is a prize for the best Man and best Lady score of the second weekend. Additionally, on the second weekend, there are a number of other prizes open to all players, not just the eight playing for their team.
