The European Nations Cup – Copa Sotogrande is an annual amateur golf tournament held at Real Club de Golf Sotogrande in Spain.[1]

The tournament is a stroke play event held over 72 holes. In 1970, Brandy de Jerez Regulatory Council started to sponsor of the tournament, and it became known as the Sherry Cup. The champions were presented with the Gold Sherry Wine Trophy and a yellow Amateur Masters Jacket. Typically attracting a strong field from the British Isles, sometimes it is considered the fifth most prestigious amateur event in Europe after the British Amateur, the European Amateur, European Amateur Team Championship and the Spanish Amateur.[2]

In 1998, a team element was introduced, where the three best scores each day count towards a European Nations Championship. If the championship ends in a tie, a sudden-death play-off is held with one player per team.[3]

Past champions include major winners such as Padraig Harrington, Sergio García, Francesco Molinari, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry. Veit Pagel and Gary Wolstenholme has won the event a record four times.
