About the Championship

The PGA Cup was first played in 1973 and is a biennial contest between the Professional Golfers' Associations of Great Britain & Ireland (PGA) and America (PGA of America).

The matches are identical to the Ryder Cup format with foursomes, fourballs and singles.

The winning team retains possession of the Llandudno International Trophy. The trophy was the idea of members of Maesdu Golf Club in Llandudno Conwy County, Wales.

The PGA of America are the current holders of the Llandudno Trophy after winning a thrilling contest 15.5 - 10.5 at Foxhills Club & Resort in Surrey. The American have also won the contest most with 19 wins compared to Great Britain & Ireland's seven victories, with four ties.

The next PGA Cup matches are due to take place in America in 2024.

PGA Cup History

The matches were first played in 1973 at Pinehurst Country Club, North Carolina, as an outgrowth of the PGA Club Professional Championship.

The competition was held annually until 1984 when both countries agreed to hold it biennially at alternating sites. The teams began with nine players, but the rosters were expanded to 10 in 1988.

GB&I notched their first PGA Cup win 1978 with a 10½ - 6½ victory at St Mellion, but overall the history books make grim reading from a British and Irish standpoint with the Americans winning 18 times compared to GB&I’s seven, while there have been four draws.
