The tournament is being held between Friday, September 28 and Sunday, September 30 at Le Golf National in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, a suburb southwest of Paris.
After the 1997 contest at Valderamma, Spain, it will be the second Ryder Cup held in Continental Europe.
Is the Ryder Cup contested between the US and Europe?
No. No.
In 1927, the Great Britain Ryder Cup launched for the first American tournament.
The trophy was last awarded to the USA in 2016.
In 1973, to help tilt the balance in favor of the US in the bi-annual event's dominance, the team was expanded to Great Britain, Ireland, and the United States.
What are the results for each team banner?
The US has won eight matches since 1979, and Europe has 10 matches. However, the Ryder Cup was retained once with a tie.
Europe team captain Paul McGinley, Rory McIlroy and the Ryder Cup trophy were among the teammates who joined in the celebrations following victory at Gleneagles 2014

After a period of dominance by the USA, when they won 15 matches against Great Britain (1927-1971), Great Britain and Ireland lost all three matches between 1973-77.
For European golf enthusiasts, the tide has turned in recent years.
When was the Ryder Cup first held?
In 1927, the first Ryder Cup was held at Worcester Country Club in Massachusetts. The home team won the contest and then went on to win in five more home contests.
The overall winner is the United States 26 times. Great Britain/Great Britain has won 13 times and Ireland/Europe 13 twice, with two ties.
