When is the Ryder Cup 2026?

The Ryder Cup is traditionally staged in late September or early October, making it one of the standout sporting events of the autumn calendar. The tournament will now run from 13th to the 19th of September 2027, as opposed to the originally planned 2026. The Ryder Cup drives significant demand for accommodation, tee times, and transport across the region. Planning well in advance ensures access not only to the tournament itself, but also to Ireland’s world-class links and parkland courses before and after the event.

Where will the Ryder Cup be held?

The Ryder Cup will be held at Adare Manor, located in County Limerick in Ireland’s South West. Adare Manor previously hosted the Irish Open in 2007 and 2008 and underwent a major renovation in 2017 led by renowned golf course architect Tom Fazio. The redesign elevated the course to championship standard, combining strategic bunkering, immaculate conditioning, and a layout designed to test the very best players in the world. The venue is set against the backdrop of the five-star Adare Manor estate, offering a unique blend of luxury hospitality and elite tournament infrastructure.

Why is the Ryder Cup being held in Ireland?

Ireland has a proud Ryder Cup history. The last time the tournament was staged in the Republic of Ireland was in 2006 at The K Club, where Europe famously defeated the United States. The decision to return the Ryder Cup to Ireland highlights Ireland’s global reputation as a golf destination, proven success in hosting major international tournaments, strong government and tourism backing, and the championship pedigree of Adare Manor. In recent years, Ireland has successfully hosted high-profile events including The Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club and the Irish Open at Lahinch Golf Club, reinforcing the island’s capability to stage world-class competitions.
