🏆🇪🇺 THE CAIRNS CUP 2026 – THREE MONTHS ON! 🇪🇺🏆

It’s hard to believe that three months have already passed since Team Europe claimed victory in the 2026 Cairns Cup, overcoming a strong and determined USA team in a fantastic competition!

🎥 Here’s a short video looking back at some of the memorable moments from this incredible event.

We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all our sponsors, supporters, volunteers and everyone involved who helped make the 2026 Cairns Cup such a success. Your generosity, commitment and support are truly appreciated.

🇺🇸 NEXT STOP – USA 2028! 🇺🇸

We are already looking forward to the next chapter of this wonderful competition, when the Cairns Cup returns in 2028, hosted by Team USA.

Further details about the 2028 event are expected to be announced in the New Year, so keep an eye out for updates!

What an incredible week of golf at The Cairns Cup 2026!

Europe were crowned champions for the very first time, defeating Team USA 18 - 6. But the final score doesn’t tell the whole story.

The matches were far closer than the scoreline suggests:

🏌️ Fourballs
• 1 match went to the 18th hole.
• 2 matches went to the 17th hole.

🏌️ Foursomes
• 2 matches went to the 18th hole.
• 2 matches went to the 16th hole.

🏌️ Singles
• 7 matches went to the 18th hole.
• 2 matches went to the 17th hole.

So many matches could have gone either way, highlighting just how evenly matched these two outstanding teams were.

Europe held their nerve to lift The Cairns Cup for the first time in the event’s history, but both teams demonstrated exceptional skill, determination, sportsmanship and respect throughout the week. The camaraderie between Team USA and Team Europe was truly inspiring and perfectly reflects what this competition is all about.

The overall series now stands at USA 2 – Europe 1, setting the stage for another thrilling contest in 2028, when The Cairns Cup returns to the USA.

Congratulations to every player, captain, volunteer, official, sponsor and supporter who helped make this year’s event such a memorable success. Here’s to another unforgettable chapter in 2028!

🏌️‍♂️❤️ The Cairns Cup Adaptive Golf Clinic – Inspiring Golf for Everyone ❤️🏌️‍♀️

On the Tuesday of The Cairns Cup, we were proud to host an Adaptive Golf Clinic, and what an incredible success it was!

Players from Team Europe and Team USA spent time with people from the local community living with disabilities, sharing their passion for golf, offering encouragement, and proving that this truly is a game for everyone. There were smiles, laughter, new friendships, and plenty of unforgettable moments throughout the day.

One particularly inspiring story came from a double amputee who was on holiday from Texas and staying at the same hotel. He joined the clinic after not having played golf for four years. His determination and enthusiasm reminded us all that golf has the power to change lives and that no one should ever think the game is beyond them.

The clinic inspired many participants to pick up a golf club for the first time or to return to a sport they thought they could no longer enjoy. That is exactly what The Cairns Cup is all about—breaking down barriers and showing that disability is never a barrier to achievement.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the day such a memorable experience.

Special thanks also go to the U.S. Adaptive Golf Alliance for sponsoring the driving range. We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support of Callaway Golf, Sun Mountain Sports, and Abucus. Without the generosity of sponsors like these, events such as this simply would not be possible.

Together, we are growing the game and changing lives through golf.

A huge congratulations to everyone involved with Team Europe on a fantastic victory in the 2026 Cairns Cup.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to TSG Foundation and its CEO, Ian Halliwell, for proudly sponsoring Team Europe throughout this incredible journey.

Support from organisations such as TSG Foundation is vital to the success of events like the Cairns Cup.

We hope Team Europe made you all proud. This victory is a testament not only to the players, captains, vice-captains, and support staff, but also to the sponsors and partners who believe in our vision and make events like this possible.

Thank you, Ian and the entire TSG Foundation team, for your generosity, belief, and unwavering support. We look forward to continuing this partnership in the future.

Congratulations once again to everyone who played a part in Team Europe’s unforgettable success! 💙💛

What a wonderful and unexpected honour for Cerise and Kevin to be invited by Stephen Dundas, President of The San Roque Club, to attend the President’s Day presentation dinner and prize giving.

It was a fantastic evening, made even more special by seeing so many of The Cairns Cup volunteers enjoying the occasion and taking great pride in being part of this incredible event. Their enthusiasm, commitment and passion have played a huge part in making the tournament such a success.

To every volunteer at San Roque Golf Club, thank you once again for your incredible dedication, enthusiasm and friendship. You have helped create memories that will last a lifetime, and you will always be an important part of The Cairns Cup family.

Thank you also to Stephen Dundas and everyone at San Roque Golf Club for your wonderful hospitality and unwavering support. It has been an absolute privilege to work alongside you all.
