About this converter
The USA leads Europe 27 matches to 15 with 2 drawn where holders retain across 44 contests. USA won 20 post war matches. Europe won 12 since the 1979 team era. USA streaked 7 straight from 1935 to 1957. Europe streaked 3 straight twice. Teams field 12 players each for 28 points per contest. Match wins rank first here since cups change on matches. Major win totals rank on a separate golf page, so stroke play stays out here.

The bars below scale to total contests at 44 so streaks look thin next to it. Ratios are exact divisions of the listed totals.
