The Friendship Cup is a biannual team competition between women age 75 or over. One team consists of players from the USA and the other from all other nations. The Wilsons pay for the rooms at the Werzer for the weekend of the competition and the following week. Team members are selected by lottery and players can only participate once. Players must have played a tournament during the selection time frame. Here are the results and photos:
