The 1974 Espirito Santo Trophy took place 22–25 October at Campo de Golf in Cajuiles, La Romana Province, Dominican Republic. It was the sixth women's golf World Amateur Team Championship for the Espirito Santo Trophy. The tournament was a 72-hole stroke play team event with 22 teams, each with up to three players. The best two scores for each round counted towards the team total.
The United States team won the Trophy, defending their title from two years ago and winning their fifth consecutive title, beating team Great Britain & Ireland and team South Africa by 16 strokes. Great Britain & Ireland and South Africa tied for the silver medal.
The Trophy was originally planned to be played in Malaysia, but the World Amateur Golf Council moved the event as Malaysian immigration laws would have seen the South African delegation refused entry into the country.
Teams 22 teams contested the event. Each team had three players, except Chile who only had two.
