How often is the Ryder Cup played, and when is the next Ryder Cup?

The Ryder Cup takes place every two years in September. The 46th Ryder Cup begins on Friday, 17th September 2027, and concludes on Sunday, 19th September 2027.

Where is the next Ryder Cup?

The venue for the Ryder Cup changes for each competition, alternating between Europe and the United States. The 2027 Ryder Cup will be held at Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland. It is the first Ryder Cup on Irish soil since the K Club hosted in 2006. The par-72 parkland course measures around 7,500 yards. Originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr, it was transformed by a Tom Fazio redesign completed in 2018.

Who has won the most Ryder Cups, and who are the current Ryder Cup champions?

Since its inception in 1927, the United States has won the most Ryder Cups with 27. However, since 1995, Team Europe has won 11 of the last 15 contests, including the most recent event at Bethpage Black in New York back in 2025.

Team Europe won the 2025 Ryder Cup 15 - 13, their first victory on American soil since the “Miracle at Medinah” in 2012. Europe also won in Rome in 2023, so they head to Adare Manor going for a third consecutive win.

How does the Ryder Cup work?

The Ryder Cup consists of 28 match play contests between Team United States and Team Europe.

Friday and Saturday follow the same format, with 8 matches each day (four foursomes and four fourballs). On Sunday, the format switches to 12 singles matches.

Each match is worth 1 point for your team. You win the Ryder Cup by being the first team to 14 ½ points. In the event of a 14 – 14 draw, the reigning champions, Europe, retain the cup.

How many players are in a team, and who are the captains of each team?

The Ryder Cup consists of two teams of 12 players. Each team has a captain who historically doesn’t play in the competition.

Luke Donald will captain Team Europe for a third consecutive time after leading them to victory in both Rome and Bethpage. He’ll be joined by vice-captains Edoardo Molinari, Francesco Molinari and Pádraig Harrington.

Jim Furyk returns as United States captain, having led the side in Paris in 2018. Stewart Cink and Justin Leonard have been named among his vice-captains.

How are the Ryder Cup teams selected?

Both teams are made up of six automatic qualifiers and six captain’s picks.

Europe: Qualifying began at the British Masters at The Belfry in August 2026 and runs until 22nd August 2027. The top six on the points list qualify automatically, and Luke Donald will name his six picks the following week.

United States: Team USA has overhauled its system for 2027, replacing the old money-based standings with a new points structure. Points are available across 31 PGA Tour events, starting at The American Express in January 2027 and ending with the BMW Championship in August 2027. Major winners earn the most points. The top six then qualify automatically, with Jim Furyk selecting the other six.

The teams will be finalised in late summer 2027. Check back here for the full line-ups once they are confirmed.

Do LIV Golfers play at the Ryder Cup?

There are no rules against LIV players playing at the Ryder Cup. However, LIV events don’t count towards qualifying points, so it is harder for a LIV tour member to earn enough points to make the team. At Bethpage, Bryson DeChambeau and Tyrrell Hatton qualified automatically, and Jon Rahm made the European team as a captain’s pick.

LIV golf has also started proceedings to wind down, and with no events scheduled for 2027 it is unclear how LIV players will go about their future.

Where can you watch the Ryder Cup?

You can watch the Ryder Cup live on Sky Sports. You can also listen as the action unfolds on talkSPORT and BBC Radio 5 Live, or keep up to date by following the official social media channels.
