The RACV Gold Coast Challenge was a golf tournament played in Australia. It was one of the leading tournaments on the ALPG Tour and was co-sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour (LET) since 2001. Between 1997 and 2000 it was an event on the LPGA Tour. It has been played at the RACV Royal Pines Resort in Benowa, Queensland, a suburb of Gold Coast since 1992.

In 2007 the Masters was the richest women's golf tournament in Australia, with a prize fund of A$800,000. Although the 2008 prize fund dropped to A$600,000, the tournament remained the richest in Australia. The 144 strong 2015 field consisted of 50 ALPG players, 50 LET players, 10 LPGA of Korea Tour players, 5 China Ladies Professional Golf Association players, 3 leading players from the Women's World Golf Rankings and sponsor's invitees.{{cite web |url=http://alpg.com.au/media/documents/tournaments/2015/RACV_Ladies_Masters_2015_-_Players_Info_2015.pdf |title=Players Information |publisher=ladiesmasters.com |access-date=10 February 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150210201811/http://alpg.com.au/media/documents/tournaments/2015/RACV_Ladies_Masters_2015_-_Players_Info_2015.pdf |archive-date=10 February 2015 }}
