# South of Ireland Amateur Open

Het South of Ireland Amateur Open is een golftoernooi voor amateurs in Zuid-Ierland. OPEN betekent dat spelers uit het buitenland ook mogen meedoen, mits hun handicap laag genoeg is.
De eerste editie was in 1895. De trofee werd ter beschikking gesteld door Alexander Shaw, een van de oprichters van de Lahinch Golf Club. Toen Fred Ballingall het toernooi in 1900 voor de derde keer won, mocht hij de trofee houden. In 1901 stelde Shaw een tweede trofee ter beschikking.
