The Girls Amateur Championship, a highly prestigious tournament established in 1919, travels to the Allwoodley course in the English town of the same name for its 2024 edition. This year's event takes place from August 12th to 17th and features 144 players under the age of 18.

Among them are eleven Spanish golfers, with special mention for Martina Navarro from Alicante, who in the 2023 edition was a finalist, only surpassed by the German Helen Briem, who has just turned professional after a distinguished career in the amateur field.

The Spanish delegation is composed, apart from Martina Navarro, of Patricia Bañón, Clara Sanchiz, Nerea Garrido, Amanda Revuelta, Inés Izuzquiza, Ángela Gómez, Liz Hao, África Oliva, Nagore Martínez and Noa Terroba. 

The tournament consists of two Stroke Play rounds during the first two days of play, which only 64 of the 144 players who start the tournament advance to. Those who make the cut enter the match draw, which is decided through single-elimination matches until the grand final.

The British Girls' list of winners includes four Spanish women.

This British Girls tournament has seen three Spanish winners who later became professionals competing on the main continental circuits: María Beautell from the Canary Islands, winner in 1998; Azahara Muñoz from Malaga, winner in 2004; and Belén Mozo from Cadiz, winner in 2006.

The fourth and last Spanish winner in the event was Alejandra Pasarín from Asturias, who won in 2014 at Massereene Golf Club (Northern Ireland) by beating German Chiara Mertens in the final (2/1) and confirming her remarkable progress.

In 2023 Cayetana Fernández was a finalist in Carnoustie, falling in the final duel against the Englishwoman Lottie Woad, the same outcome as in 2023, when Martina Navarro lost in the grand final with the German Helen Briem.
