The Cup was played 14–17 October at the Old Course at St Andrews in Scotland.

The American team of Fred Couples, John Daly, and Payne Stewart beat the English team of Peter Baker, Nick Faldo, and Mark James in the final.

After three rounds of round-robin play, the top team in each group advanced to a single elimination playoff.

Matches tied at the end of 18 holes were extended to a sudden-death playoff.

The tie-breaker for ties within a group was based on match record, then head-to-head.
