De Ryder Cup wedstrijden, een van de laatste grote sportevenementen gebaseerd op prestige in plaats van prijzengeld, beslaan 34 competities in 77 jaar. De oorsprong van het idee om internationale wedstrijden te organiseren tussen de beste Amerikaanse professionals en die van Groot-Brittannië is onderwerp van discussie onder golfhistorici. Voormalig PGA President George Sargent (1921-26) van de Southeastern PGA Section schreef Sylvanus P. Jermain, president van de Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, toe dat hij het concept in 1921 voor het eerst presenteerde.
In 1979, toen het team van Groot-Brittannië en Ierland werd uitgebreid met spelers uit Europese landen, werd de indeling herzien met vier vierbal- en vier vier viertallenwedstrijden op de eerste twee dagen en 12 enkelspelwedstrijden op de derde dag. Er werden in totaal 28 punten toegekend.
