With the 2023 Ryder Cup being played in Rome, Italy this time we ask the question – Do Europe always win the Ryder Cup in Europe? Let’s look back at the record of the European golfing side when playing in front of their home fans.

Europe Have Won The Last Six Ryder Cups Played In Europe
USA are the betting favourites with the best golf betting sites, but punters might be interested to know that having home advantage in golf’s biggest team event is huge – especially when played in Europe.
Yes, the Europe Ryder Cup team have won ALL of the last six events when being cheered on by their home supporters – with the most recent coming in 2018 in France at the Le Golf National with a stonking 17 1/2 – 10 1/2 win.
The Last Time USA Beat Europe Away Was In 1993
In fact, you must trawl right back in the Ryder Cup winners list to 1993 to find the last time the USA team won the famous gold trophy in Europe.
It was at The Belfry in 1993 when the USA team, who were captained by Tom Watson, last won the Ryder Cup away from America.
That’s a staggering 30 years ago and over that period there have been six Ryder Cups played in Europe (see below).
While, of the 22 Ryder Cups played in Europe, since the first event in 1927, the European/Great Britain side have won 11 (one tied), meaning a 50% strike-rate.
However, with this record over the last six European Ryder Cups increasing to 100% – we think it’s fair to say in answer to the question – Do Europe always win the Ryder Cup in Europe?
At the moment – it’s a big YES.
