The Cup was a match play event played over four days. The teams were divided into four four-team groups.[2] The top eight teams were seeded with the remaining teams randomly placed in the bracket.[2] After three rounds of round-robin play, the top team in each group advanced to a single elimination playoff.

In each team match, the three players were paired with their opponents and played 18 holes at medal match play.[2] Matches tied at the end of 18 holes were extended to a sudden-death playoff, unless they could not affect the outcome of the tournament (third round).[2] The tie-breaker for ties within a group was based on match record, then head-to-head.[2]
