The Wemyss County Cup was donated by The Earl of Wemyss in 1868 for competition amongst East Lothian golfers and is the oldest foursomes golf tournament in the world. The format is knockout foursomes with two pairs competing for each club. The club achieving the most combined holes up across the two pairs advances to the next round. Hosting of the competition rotates around the competing clubs and in 2025 it was the turn of Luffness New Golf Club.
