The Ryder Cup is returning to Ireland in 2027 (yay!), and golf fans from around the world will be heading to Adare Manor in County Limerick. The event runs from September 13 to 19, and it promises intense competition as Europe and the USA face off on one of the country’s most beautiful courses.
Visitors can expect a mix of world-class golf, lively atmosphere, and the chance to experience Ireland’s welcoming hospitality. Here’s a visitor-friendly breakdown of what you need to know!
The Location
Adare Manor itself is stunning, with hundreds of acres of parkland, mature trees, and the River Maigue winding through the course. The village of Adare nearby is charming, too, offering traditional pubs, restaurants, and a sense of Irish culture that will complement the tournament.
Beyond the main event, Ireland has plenty to explore, including the dramatic coastline of the
Wild Atlantic Way as well as historic towns and scenic countryside.
Accommodation Options
Accommodation will be in (very) high demand during Ryder Cup week, so it’s a good idea to book as early as possible. Options range from the luxury of Adare Manor to nearby hotels, guesthouses, and bed-and-breakfasts.
Planning your stay in advance will make it easier to enjoy the event without worrying about logistics. You can check out
our accommodation page and the
B&B Ireland page for ideas.
Travel Options
Travel to the course and around Ireland is straightforward.
Shannon Airport is the closest major airport, just a short drive from Adare Manor.
Renting a car makes it easier to explore the surrounding area, though public transport options are available if you prefer. Driving in Ireland is on the left, and the roads can be narrow in rural areas, so some planning will help you get around comfortably.
Weather Forecast
September
weather in Ireland can be pretty unpredictable. Days are generally mild, but rain and wind are common, particularly near the coast (which makes for great golf, of course).
It’s best to bring layers, a waterproof jacket, and comfortable shoes. Golfers and spectators should also prepare for sunny spells and pack sunscreen alongside rain gear.
Explore the Island
Beyond the course, Ireland offers plenty to keep visitors busy. For example, you can take a drive along the aforementioned Wild Atlantic Way, explore the green hills of
Ireland’s Ancient East, or enjoy the culture and nightlife in
Limerick,
Dublin, or
Cork.
So, if you’re a die-hard golf fan or just looking for a memorable Irish holiday, then the Ryder Cup is a chance to combine sport with exploration in one of Europe’s most welcoming countries.
