Ryder Cup-matcherne, en af de sidste store sportsbegivenheder, der er baseret på prestige snarere end præmiepenge, spænder over 34 konkurrencer i løbet af 77 år. Oprindelsen af ideen om at arrangere internationale kampe mellem de bedste amerikanske professionelle og dem fra Storbritannien er genstand for debat blandt golfhistorikere. Tidligere PGA-præsident George Sargent (1921-26) fra den sydøstlige PGA-sektion tilskrev Sylvanus P. Jermain, præsident for Inverness Club i Toledo, Ohio, æren for først at have præsenteret konceptet i 1921.
I 1979, da Great Britain & Ireland Team blev udvidet til at omfatte spillere fra europæiske lande, blev formatet revideret til at give fire fourball- og fire foursomes-kampe de første to dage og 12 singlekampe på tredjedagen. Det samlede antal point var 28.
