ryder cup how often played

The Ryder Cup is played every two years (biennial).

Basic schedule

• The official Ryder Cup is a men’s team event between Europe and the United States.

• It takes place once every two years, with the host course alternating between the U.S. and Europe.

• Recent scheduling changes (after postponements in 2001 and 2020) have put the event back on odd-numbered years (2021, 2023, 2025, etc.).

Quick historical note

• The Ryder Cup began in 1927 and has grown into one of golf’s biggest global events.

• Despite rare postponements due to major world events, the intended cadence has always been a biennial contest.

Mini “forum style” takeaway

If you’re planning around future Cups, just remember: think odd‑numbered years now, and expect the Ryder Cup to show up every other year, bouncing between a U.S. course and a European one.
