Hola! Ryder Cup set for Spanish return in 2031

Camiral, near Barcelona, will follow Bethpage Black in New York (2025), Adare Manor in Ireland (2027) and Hazeltine National in Minnesota (2029) as the venue for golf's greatest team contest.

It will be the second time Spain has hosted the Ryder Cup, 34 years after the legendary Seve Ballesteros captained Europe to victory at Valderrama in 1997, becoming the first country in Continental Europe to host more than one Ryder Cup.

That honour recognises the hugely significant contribution that Spanish golf has played in the history of the Ryder Cup, with 11 Spaniards having represented Team Europe, the joint second highest of any European country after England.

The stunning Costa Brava and Barcelona will provide the backdrop for the 2031 Ryder Cup, welcoming international visitors from across the world to a region renowned for its breathtaking coastline, world-class hospitality and vibrant cultural heritage.

Costa Brava and Barcelona have a rich legacy of hosting major international sporting events, including the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, the F1 Spanish Grand Prix, the MotoGP Catalunya, and Champions League and La Liga football at Camp Nou, the home of FC Barcelona.

"The announcement not only recognises Camiral as one of Europe's leading venues, but also the considerable contribution Spanish golf has made to the proud history of the Ryder Cup," said Guy Kinnings, Chief Executive of the European Tour Group.

"The Ryder Cup has grown significantly since Spain last hosted it in 1997. It is one of the world's leading sporting events, which brings significant economic benefits and global exposure to a host region and country, so we could not be happier to be taking it to Costa Brava and Barcelona for the first time, and to Spain for the second time."
