The United States led 9–3 after the first day and 11–5 after the second-day foursomes.

Needing just a point to retain the trophy, the United States won 5 of the 8 singles matches for a convincing victory.

Each of the 24 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition.

Rather, each side earned ½ a point toward their team total.

Ten players for the United States and Great Britain & Ireland participated in the event plus one non-playing captain for each team.
