The 2016 EurAsia Cup presented by DRB-HICOM was the second edition of the EurAsia Cup, a team golf event contested between teams representing Asia and Europe. It was held from 15 to 17 January at the Glenmarie Golf and Country Club in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. The inaugural event in 2014 finished in a tie, and so the Cup was shared between the teams. For the 2016 edition, the team size was increased from 10 to 12 with a corresponding increase in the number of matches from 20 to 24.[1]

The event had a $4,800,000 purse; $300,000 to each member of the winning team and $100,000 to each member of the losing team.

Europe comfortably won the match 18½ to 5½ and, in doing so, became the first winners of the trophy.[2]
