The 44th Curtis Cup Match was played June 12–14, 2026 at Bel-Air Country Club in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, California, United States.

The United States team won 13–7. American Farah O'Keefe won all five of her matches, the fourth golfer to do so in Curtis Cup history.[1]

Format

The contest was 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 was worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match ended all square after the 18th hole extra holes were not played. Rather, each side earned 12 point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least 1012 points won the competition. In the event of a tie, the current holder retained the Cup.
