The 1977 European Ladies' Team Championship took place 6–10 July at Real Club de Golf Sotogrande in Sotogrande, Province of Cádiz, Spain. It was the tenth women's golf amateur European Ladies' Team Championship.

Format

All participating teams played two qualification rounds of stroke-play with up to five players, counted the four best scores for each team. The eight best teams formed flight A, in knock-out match-play over the next three days. The teams were seeded based on their positions after the stroke-play. The first placed team was drawn to play the quarter-final against the eight placed team, the second against the seventh, the third against the sixth and the fourth against the fifth. In each match between two nation teams, two 18-hole foursome games and five 18-hole single games were played. Teams were allowed to switch players during the team matches, selecting other players in to the afternoon single games after the morning foursome games. Games all square after 18 holes were declared halved, if the team match was already decided. The six teams placed 9–14 in the qualification stroke-play formed Flight B, to play similar knock-out play to decide their final positions.
