England, Wales and Scotland have all expressed an interest in hosting the 2019 Solheim Cup, the Ladies European Tour has confirmed.

The three home nations are among 10 countries in the running to stage the biennial event, along with Denmark, Holland, Norway, Portugal Spain, Sweden and Turkey.

England has never hosted the event but it has previously been held at Dalmahoy in Scotland (1992) and St Pierre in Wales (1996).

A decision over the 2019 venue will be made later this year - the 2015 competition will be held in Germany, where Europe bid for a third successive victory.

"We are delighted with the response from the interested nations all across Europe which shows the tremendous appetite for watching Europe take on the USA at golf," said Ladies European Tour European Solheim Cup director Mark Casey.
