# Brits Dames Amateur Kampioenschap

Het Brits Dames Amateur Kampioenschap (British Ladies Amateur Championship) is een jaarlijks golfkampioenschap, dat sinds 1893 wordt gespeeld. De dames moeten tegenwoordig handicap 4.4 of lager hebben. Na het spelen van kwalificatierondes blijven er 64 speelsters over. De laatste rondes worden in matchplay gespeeld. De organisatie is in handen van de Ladies' Golf Union of Great Britain, die ook in 1893 werd opgericht.
Tot de oprichting van de Europese Tour in 1976 was dit toernooi het belangrijkste damestoernooi in Europa, waar op den duur ook speelsters van buiten Europa voor over kwamen. Het toernooi is samen met het Amerikaanse Amateurskampioenschap nog steeds het belangrijkste amateurstoernooi ter wereld.
In 1927 werd de dertigste editie gespeeld. Voor het eerst won een continentale speelster, de Française Simone de la Chaume. Eerder had zij al het Brits Amateur voor junioren gewonnen.
De winnares krijgt de 'Pam Barton Memorial Salver', en wisselbeker die zij een jaar lang mag houden. De finaliste krijgt een jaar lang 'The Diana Fishwick Cup'. De officiële trofee waarop de namen gegraveerd worden, blijft bij de Ladies' Golf Union.
De 21-jarige winnares van 2009, Azahara Muñoz uit Málaga, is direct na haar overwinning professional geworden. In 2004 had ook zij al het Brits Amateur voor junioren gewonnen.
