Limerick & Adare

The city, county, village and people behind the Ryder Cup setting.

A place with a story

Welcome to Limerick.

Limerick is not simply a convenient base for the Ryder Cup. It is a city and county with Viking beginnings, medieval walls, Georgian streets, deep sporting traditions, a strong food and music culture and a living community.

Adare sits within that story: a historic village beside the River Maigue and the home of the estate that will host the 2027 Ryder Cup.
