Five English players and three from Ireland, including world number one Leona Maguire, have been selected for Great Britain and Ireland's Curtis Cup team.
Maguire is joined by compatriots Olivia Mehaffey and Maria Dunne, with England represented by Bronte Law, Alice Hewson, Meghan MacLaren, Rochelle Morris and Charlotte Thomas.
Maguire, Law, Mehaffey and Hewson were selected automatically as the top players in the world amateur golf ranking, with MacLaren and Morris earning their places as the top players not otherwise exempt from the LGU order of merit.
Thomas and Dunne were chosen by selectors for the 39th staging of the event between the top female amateurs from Great Britain and Ireland and the United States, which will be staged at Dun Laoghaire Golf Club from June 10-12.
The team will be captained by Aberdeen solicitor Elaine Farquharson-Black, who played in the contest in 1990 and 1992.
"We have an extremely talented team which has considerable experience of playing amateur golf at the highest level," Farquharson-Black said. "I am looking forward to meeting up with the team at The Castle Golf Club to prepare for the match.
"With some of the best players in the world on both sides, it is going to be a really exciting Curtis Cup."
The United States has won eight of the last nine contests, although Great Britain and Ireland did taste victory in the last home tie at Nairn in 2012.
