Duchess of Connaught Gold Cup

Used as the winner’s trophy for the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship, The Duchess of Connaught donated the cup in 1914 when she became the patroness of the Canadian Ladies Golf Union. At the time, the CLGU no longer had a championship trophy, as Dorothy Campbell had won the Lady Grey Trophy outright in 1912 after her third consecutive victory. With war interrupting competition, the amateur championship had only been played twice since.
