The 1926 home internationals and the Womens Amateur Championship were postponed due to the general strike in May. The Womens Amateur Championship was rearranged in June but the internationals were not played. In 1927, England suffered their first defeat since 1910 when they were beaten 5–4 by Scotland. The match between Gertrude Percy and Doris Fowler went to extra holes before Percy won at the 20th hole to give Scotland the victory. England regained the shield in 1928, and retained it in 1929 and 1930 without losing a match. In 1928, Wales had their second win, again beating Ireland 5–4, as they had in 1922. The 1929 event was played on the Old Course at St. Andrew. Matches were played on Thursday and Friday rather than Friday and Saturday as had generally been the case in earlier years. Scotland were runners-up in 1928, 1929 and 1930.
