This year’s Men’s Home Internationals will be played at Woodbrook Golf Club in Ireland on 5th-7th August 2026.

ENGLAND will be defending the Raymond Trophy which they won at Woodhall Spa G.C. in Lincolnshire last year.

This article will focus on the Men’s Home Internationals and will be updated with score links and daily reports once the competition starts.

Combined Event

In 2022 The R&A and four Home Golf Unions decided to combine the Women’s and Men’s Home Internationals into one mixed event.

The R&A first introduced this type of change in August 2021 when they took control of and combined both the Boys’ and Girls’ Home Internationals and Senior Men’s and Women’s Home Internationals at Woodhall Spa.

Whilst the mixed R&A Women’s and Men’s Home Internationals are now given primary importance the International Trophy and Raymond Trophy are still presented to the leading country in the women’s and men’s matches.

The R&A stepped back from running all of the Home Internationals in 2024 returning their organisation to each host nation in turn.

I hope the organisers look to remove the mixed element completely in due course and return to the separate men’s and women’s competitions which have a lot of history and should never have been interfered with.

2026 Men’s Players

The four national golf unions have selected the following players to represent their countries this year. I have added their World Amateur Golf Rankings as at 29th July 2026 in brackets.

Venue – Woodbrook G.C.

Woodbrook, a parkland course located next to the sea in Bray to the south of Dublin, is celebrating it’s centenary this year.

Peter McEvoy re-designed the course in 1998 when USGA standard greens were laid in preparation for the Irish Seniors Open being staged there.

It plays to a maximum distance of 7,016 yards and has a par of 72. It has a Course Rating of 74.3 and a Slope Rating of 131 off these back tees.

Match Format

Following the move to a combined Home Internationals event the men’s teams were reduced from 11 to 9 players.

Each country plays every other team over the three competition days.

Men’s matches now consist of 4 foursomes and 8 singles. This is 1 foursomes and 2 singles less than the historic format.

One point is awarded for a win in each foursomes and singles with a half point for a tied match. Each team will be awarded one match point for winning an overall match and a half point for a tie.

The final team positions are determined according to the highest number of match points earned. Ties are broken by reviewing the total number of individual game points.

The winning team receives the Raymond Trophy.  

The Raymond Trophy

The Men’s Home Internationals were first played in 1932 and this year’s staging will be the 84th playing of this prestigious event.

Since 1952 the winning team has received The Raymond Trophy which is named after its donor, the late Raymond Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer was an English administrator, golfer and team captain who was very prominent in the amateur game in the 1940’s and 1950’s.

In the 84 competitions played to date England have won 41, Scotland 21, Ireland 14 and Wales 1. The remaining 7 were tied before it was decided that ties would be resolved by using game points.

26th May 2026

The 2026 NCAA Division I Men’s National Golf Championship will be played at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California on 29th-3rd June 2026.

This is the third of three NCAA National Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships that will be staged at La Costa.

A former long time PGA Tour stop off the North Course was recently re-designed by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner with the two 2024 NCAA Golf Championships marking its official re-opening.

The men’s course will play 7,538 yards with a par of 72.

30 5-man teams and 6 individuals not on those teams qualified to play through six Regional events played on 12th-14th May. To learn more about these Regionals please read my earlier article – NCAA Division I Men’s Regionals – 2026 Preview & Results

At the National Championships 54 holes of stroke play will be played on 29th-31st May. A cut will then take place which will see the top 15 teams and nine individuals not on those teams play a final 18 holes on 1st June. Team scores in the stroke play stage are based on a best four from five players cumulative total. After 72 holes an Individual champion is crowned with the leading 8 teams progressing to a match play stage. Seeded match play will then take place on 2nd-3rd June to determine the Team national champions.

I will be providing daily reports on play when the Championship gets underway.

10th May 2026 (Updated 18th May 2026)

Regional Championships

The six 54 hole NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Regional Championships will be played on 18th-20th May 2026.

81 teams and 45 individuals, from non-qualifying teams, were selected on 6th May 2026 to compete at these competitions.

Local Conference Championships were played across the country in April with 29 Conference team champions granted automatic qualification into the 2026 Regionals. The remaining teams progressed based on their performances throughout the season.

13 teams and 10 individuals were allocated to three of the Regional venues with the remaining sites hosting 14 teams and 5 individuals. As always the draw has been made in such a way that all of the fields are of a similar strength.

Teams of five players play 72 holes of stroke play with their best four scores counting towards their team’s total score. Players, who play in each round, are also eligible for a separate Individual competition.

I will be updating this article with a summary of the results when play is completed.

National Championships

5 teams and the top individual (not on one of those teams) from each Regional event will progress to the National Championship which will be played at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California on 29th May-3rd June 2026.

The National Championships start with 54 holes of stroke play. The top 15 teams and 9 individuals, not on an advancing team, then progress to a final 18 holes of stroke play. After these 72 holes have been played an Individual champion is determined and the top 8 teams advance to a match play stage to establish the Team champions.

Oklahoma State are the defending champions after they defeated Virginia 4-1 in the 2025 Championship Final in Carlsbad.  Ole Miss junior Michael La Sasso (USA) won the Individual title with a 72 hole total score of 277 (-11).

_____________________________________

Details of the six Regional Championships are shown below with each team and individual listed in seed order and, if they earned automatic qualification, the Conference Championship they recently won to do so.

GB&I players attached to the qualifying colleges are highlighted in bold blue type. Each team is now allowed to take a Reserve to the event so it is possible some may not play or be subbed in and out during the week.

35 GB&I players have been selected for their colleges albeit some of these will start as substitutes.
