The Walker Cup is a golf trophy contested in odd-numbered years by leading male amateur golfers in two teams: United States, and Great Britain and Ireland featuring players from the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The Times reports that the match was arranged by Gershom Stewart M.P., Chairman of Royal Liverpool Golf Club.

The American team was Chick Evans, William C. Fownes Jr. (Captain), Jesse Guilford, Paul M. Hunter, Bobby Jones, Francis Ouimet, J.

In 2009, the number of singles matches on the second day was increased to 10, so that all members of the team play on this final afternoon.

Note that in the following table, half points for halved matches are included in the total scores prior to 1971 for consistency with later years.
