Is There a Ryder Cup in 2026? No — It Is Biennial, and the Next One Is 2027
No 2026 Ryder Cup: it is biennial. Bethpage Black hosted in 2025; the next is at Adare Manor, with play September 17-19, 2027. The 2026 team event was the Presidents Cup, won 17-13 by the U.S.
The short answer: there is no 2026 Ryder Cup
The Ryder Cup is not an annual event. Its official site describes it as "the biennial contest between Europe and the United States", and the current cycle falls in odd-numbered years. Bethpage Black in New York hosted in 2025, following Marco Simone in Italy in 2023 and Whistling Straits in Wisconsin in 2021. The next edition is 2027.[1]
The official site lists the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland. Ryder Cup week runs September 13-19, 2027: four build-up days followed by three days of competition, Friday September 17 to Sunday September 19. The United States selection criteria announced on September 9, 2026 award points from The American Express (January 18-24, 2027) through the BMW Championship (August 16-22, 2027). There is no 2026 competition on the official calendar.[1][3][4]
Checking a 2026 Ryder Cup claim against the official record
Bethpage Black did host a Ryder Cup, but in 2025. A page that assigns Bethpage Black a 2026 Ryder Cup date conflicts with the official record, which lists Bethpage Black for 2025 and Adare Manor for 2027.[1]
What is actually on in 2026: the Presidents Cup
The team golf event in 2026 was the Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club, which ended on Sunday, September 27, 2026. Its official site reports that the U.S. Team completed a comeback to win the 16th edition 17-13.[2]
This is a different competition, not a substitute name for the Ryder Cup. The Presidents Cup is run by the PGA TOUR and matches the United States against an International team drawn from outside Europe, whereas the Ryder Cup is United States against Europe. The two alternate years, which is why a September team event exists in 2026 even though the Ryder Cup does not.[1][2]
How to check this yourself
Two checks settle it. First, open the Ryder Cup official site and read the date in the site header, which gives September 13-19, 2027, Adare Manor. Second, check which year a venue actually hosted — the official site lists Bethpage Black for 2025. If a page gives a 2026 Ryder Cup date, compare it against both.[1]

| 10/08/2026 | Added source footnotes to two FAQ answers, corrected them, and removed one unsourced FAQ. | Updated |
| 10/08/2026 | Presidents Cup passages updated after the event, with the result from presidentscup.com (re-fetched 2026-10-08). | Updated |
| 10/09/2026 | Revised after independent review: unsourced statements about other pages removed, 2031 venue name and 2027 competition dates corrected, dated official announcements added. | Updated |
Corrections
| 10/08/2026 | FAQ corrections: removed the unsourced claim about pages advertising a 2026 Bethpage event and the question about conflicting aggregator dates; the 'after 2027' answer now gives the venues the official site lists (Hazeltine in 2029, Costa Brava in 2031). | Applied |
| 10/08/2026 | The Presidents Cup (September 22-27, 2026) is over: the summary, fact, claim, timeline, body and FAQ are now in the past tense and give the result from the official site, a 17-13 U.S. win at Medinah. The re-fetched official page no longer shows the September 22 start date, so the body now gives only the confirmed final day (Sunday, September 27). | Applied |
| 10/09/2026 | Removed the paragraph about aggregator pages listing conflicting 2026 dates and the statement that pages pairing Bethpage Black with 2026 had changed the year of the 2025 event; the page now only says such a date conflicts with the official record. The 2031 venue is now given as Camiral, in Costa Brava, Barcelona. The 2027 dates now distinguish Ryder Cup week (September 13-19) from the competition (September 17-19). The sentence describing the official site's news list as of September 2026 was replaced with the dated selection-criteria announcement, which gives the first event (January 18-24, 2027) and the last (August 16-22, 2027). The Presidents Cup dates are cited to its official site. | Applied |
