She also represented her country four times at the European Ladies' Team Championship[7][8][9][10] and four times at the Espirito Santo Trophy.[11]

De Lorenzi joined the Ladies European Tour in 1987 and won the Order of Merit in 1988 and 1989. In those two years, when she led the rankings, she finished first or second 17 times, when the tour schedules included 46 individual tournaments over the two seasons.

She has become a life member of the tour, having accumulated 19 tournament victories on it.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18]

She played for Europe in the first Solheim Cup, which took place in 1990, and was also a member of the European team in 1996 and 1998. She was assistant captain of the European Solheim Cup team in 2007. She retired from tournament golf in 2004.
