The 42nd Curtis Cup Match was played from June 10–12, 2022 at Merion Golf Club, Ardmore, Pennsylvania. It was played less than a year after the previous contest, at Conwy Golf Club in 2021, which had been delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The USA team retained the Curtis Cup by a score of 151⁄2 to 41⁄2.

Format

The contest is a three-day competition, with three foursomes and three fourball matches on each of the first two days, and eight singles matches on the final day, a total of 20 points.

Each of the 20 matches is worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match ends all square after the 18th hole extra holes were not played. Rather, each side earned 1⁄2 point toward their team total. The team that accumulates at least 101⁄2 points won the competition. In the event of a tie, the current holder retains the Cup.

Teams

Eight players for USA and Great Britain & Ireland will participate in the event plus one non-playing captain for each team.
