Staff WriterIt’s official: the Ryder Cup is coming back to Ireland—and not just any Ryder Cup, but the centennial edition of golf’s most electrifying team event.
Mark your calendars and charge your phones: from September 13–19, 2027, Adare Manor in County Limerick will host the 100th anniversary of the Ryder Cup. That’s right—Europe versus the United States in the rolling green belly of Munster, where the Guinness flows and the fairways hum with history.
Announced today by Ryder Cup Europe, the milestone tournament will feature four days of warm-ups (September 13–16) before the real battle begins across three days of head-to-head play from Friday, September 17 through Sunday, September 19, 2027.
For golf fans, history buffs, and anyone who appreciates a bit of sporting theatre with their shepherd’s pie, this is not one to miss.
Fresh off the dust of this year’s Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in New York, the golfing world will shift its gaze to Adare Manor—an 840-acre slice of Irish elegance that previously hosted the Irish Open and a trio of celebrity-laden JP McManus Pro-Ams. Now, it’s set to take centre stage for the biggest matchplay showdown in golf.
This marks just the second time the Ryder Cup has graced Irish soil. The last occasion? That record-setting romp in 2006 at The K Club, where Ian Woosnam’s Europe side dismantled the Americans 18½ – 9½. That’s not a win, that’s a Guinness-fuelled parade.
Guy Kinnings, Chief Executive of the European Tour Group, said: “The official announcement of the dates is always a significant milestone in the Ryder Cup journey for a country and a venue, and we’re delighted to today confirm details for the 2027 contest at Adare Manor.
Rory McIlroy’s victory in the Masters last month to complete the career Grand Slam… has already heightened the buzz around golf on the island of Ireland.”
Translation: Irish golf fans are already dancing jigs, and the rest of the world is scrambling for plane tickets.
Ireland’s Minister for Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport, Patrick O’Donovan T.D., echoed the national pride: “We have adopted a whole-of-government approach to ensure that Ireland successfully hosts the event in 2027… showcasing the many valuable benefits the island of Ireland has as a tourism and golfing destination.”
And what a showcase it will be. Adare Manor’s course, redesigned by Tom Fazio in 2017, is draped along the River Maigue like a silk tie on a three-piece suit.
It’s no stranger to elite competition—Pádraig Harrington won the 2007 Irish Open here before going on to bag the Claret Jug at Carnoustie.
The following year, Richard Finch famously tumbled into the water after winning in 2008. Expect more drama, though ideally fewer splashdowns.
Minister of State for Sport, Charlie McConalogue T.D., added: “This event and spectacular venue provide the perfect showcase for the world-class golf that can be found throughout Ireland, where over 400 courses are dotted throughout our scenic landscape.”
Well, if that doesn’t make you want to grab your clubs and book a flight, nothing will.
And then there’s JP McManus—the man behind the manor—who put it simply:
“We are honoured to be hosting one of global sports biggest events… the anticipation for the 2027 Ryder Cup will continue to grow.”
He’s not wrong. Alongside millions of global viewers, expect tens of thousands of boots on Irish turf, bringing a tidal wave of tourism and a welcome surge for the southwest economy. Local pubs: you’ve got two years to stock up.
Ticket details for the 2027 Ryder Cup will drop in 2026—so prepare your browsers and bank accounts.
Premium experiences and volunteering opportunities will also be announced later this year.
If you’ve ever wanted to hand a tee to Rory McIlroy or cheer on a booming drive from Viktor Hovland, now’s your chance.
As golf celebrates a century of Ryder Cup history, all roads lead to Adare. A village, a manor, and a game that’s far more than just birdies and bogeys—it’s passion, pride, and the loudest silence in sport.
And come September 2027, the only thing louder than the galleries will be the roar from Limerick when Europe tries to reclaim or retain that golden chalice.
