Ryder Cup 2027 Adare — Travel & Accommodation Guide
Everything you need to plan a memorable trip to the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor, County Limerick.
Introduction
The World Is Coming to Adare
In 2027, the Ryder Cup — golf's most prestigious team competition — returns to Ireland for the first time in over two decades. The venue is Adare Manor, a five-star resort and one of the finest golf destinations on earth, set in the picturesque countryside of County Limerick.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the globe are expected to descend on the region for an unforgettable week of sport, hospitality and celebration. However, Adare is a small, charming village with extremely limited accommodation — meaning early planning is not just recommended, it is essential.

About the Ryder Cup in Adare

The 2027 edition is expected to generate enormous international interest and drive record demand for accommodation across the region.
