Ten of Europe's top players will take on a 10-man team from Asia at the Glenmarie Golf and Country Club from March 28-30 in a format similar to the Ryder Cup.
Europe will select the leading four golfers from the final 2012-13 Race to Dubai money list, the top four available from the world rankings and two captain's picks.
The Asian side will include the leading four players from their final Order of Merit, the top three available from the world rankings and three captain's picks.
"We are delighted to announce the inaugural EurAsia Cup presented by DRB-HICOM as part of our initial sector of the schedule," the European Tour's chief operating officer and director of international policy Keith Waters said in a news release.
"With the addition of the Nedbank Golf Challenge - one of seven events in South Africa - and the continued strength of the ‘desert swing', including the 25th anniversary of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, we can look forward to an outstanding start to the Race to Dubai."
The long-established Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City in December, boasting a prize fund of $6.5 million, is making its first appearance as a European Tour-sanctioned event.
The rest of the 2013-14 calendar is expected to be announced later this year.
