Next year’s Ryder Cup at Adare Manor is officially sold out, according to organisers.

General admission tickets sold out at the conclusion of the ballot process, with Ryder Cup Europe citing “unprecedented demand” for the matches at Adare Manor in Limerick.

Fans who were successful in the ballot process joined fans who had previously secured their tickets in the exclusive island of Ireland priority window in May, which sold out in under an hour. 

Following the allocation of tickets, fans from 80 different countries will be part of the 100th anniversary edition of the Ryder Cup. 

Irish fans will be in the majority, forming 34 per cent of the overall spectator numbers as Ireland hosts the Ryder Cup for the first time since 2006. 

Richard Atkinson, the European Tour group’s Chief Ryder Cup Officer, said: “We always thought there would be huge global interest in the 2027 Ryder Cup, but the demand for tickets we received throughout the entire process has been nothing short of remarkable.

“We could have sold out our general admission tickets more than 12 times over, which is testament to the appeal of golf’s greatest team contest, as well as the passion of fans who want to be part of it. 

“Next year’s Ryder Cup at Adare Manor promises to be a truly special occasion and we look forward to welcoming international visitors to Limerick to experience the very best of Irish hospitality as well as an historic sporting event.”

The overall attendance across the Ryder Cup week, from September 13-19, 2027, is expected to exceed 250,000, with a daily site capacity of 55,000. 

Despite general admission tickets being sold out, there are still opportunities for people seeking to attend next year’s Ryder Cup, with bespoke travel-inclusive packages and a limited number of premium experiences available via rydercup.com. 

For residents of the island of Ireland, thousands of tickets will also be available for Tuesday’s practice day as part of the ‘SuperValu Community Day’ courtesy of Musgrave.

Full details of this initiative and how to apply for tickets will be announced later this year.
