It was an event on European Tour but prize money did not count towards the Order of Merit/Official Money List and a victory did not count as an official tour win; later such tournaments were designated as "approved special events". A similar event, the UAP European Under-25 Championship, was played in France from 1988.

The 1979 tournament was won by Bernhard Langer who triumphed by 17 strokes.
