The Great Britain and Ireland team included 15-year-old twins, Lisa and Leona Maguire. ==Format== The contest was a three-day competition, with three foursomes and three fourball matches on each of the first two days, and eight singles matches on the final day, a total of 20 points.
Each of the 20 matches is worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match is all square after the 18th hole extra holes are not played. Rather, each side earns {{1/2}} a point toward their team total. The team that accumulates at least 10{{1/2}} points wins the competition. In the event of a tie, the current holder retains the Cup.
==Teams== Eight players for the USA and Great Britain & Ireland participated in the event plus one non-playing captain for each team.
The American team was selected by the USGA’s International Team Selection Committee.<ref>{{cite web|title=Three USGA Championship Headline 2010 USA Curtis Cup Team |url=http://www.usga.org/articles/2010/04/three-usga-championship-headline-2010-usa-curtis-cup-team-17179869227.html |website=www.usga.org |publisher=United States Golf Association |date=April 12, 2010 |accessdate=October 6, 2016}}</ref>
