Ryder Cup returning to Ireland in 2026 at Adare Manor
It’s been a huge week for Irish golf. On 21 July Irish star Shane Lowry won The Open at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland and just four days later it’s been confirmed that the 2026 Ryder Cup will be hosted on the Emerald Isle.
On 25 July it was announced that Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland, had won the bid for the 2026 Ryder Cup - golf’s biennial team event between Europe and the United States.
It’s the second time Ireland will have held the Ryder Cup and will come 20 years after The K Club in Dublin saw Team Europe record an 18½-9½ victory over Team USA.
