The Solheim Cup is a women's golf competition between teams from Europe and the United States, played every two years. The venue alternates between courses in the USA and Europe. The cup is played over three days, in the same format as the men's version, the Ryder Cup.

The inaugural event took place in 1990 and has been held every two years since, apart from a few scheduling changes. The tournament switched from even-numbered years to odd-numbered years in 2003, so editions were held in consecutive years in 2002 and 2003. The 2020 event was postponed to 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the competition then moved back to even-numbered years in 2024 — meaning the 2023 and 2024 editions were also played in consecutive years.

There have been only two holes-in-one in the history of the tournament: Swedish player Anna Nordqvist aced the 17th at Colorado Golf Club in 2013, and Denmark's Emily Kristine Pedersen aced the 12th at Finca Cortesin in 2023.

Europe won the most recent edition, beating the United States 15–13 at Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt, the Netherlands, on 11–13 September 2026. It was the first Solheim Cup staged in the Netherlands, and the win was sealed by Lottie Woad and Carlota Ciganda under captain Anna Nordqvist, against a United States side led by Angela Stanford.
