Scotland & England
The Ryder Cup is a men's golf competition that happens every two years, with a change of venue from USA to Europe every other year. The Ryder Cup was established in 1927, and is usually played in September (occasionally in October). When the 2001 competition was delayed to 2002 (due to the September 11th attacks), the competition changed from odd years to even years.
It is Europe and AFRICA
It's on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Four fourball and four foursomes matches on each of the first two days and then twelve singles matches on the Sunday.
It depends whether you are talking about club football or international football. it also depends where in the world a particular team plays. France, for example, compete for just two trophies. The World Cup and the European Championship. Argentina compete for the World Cup and Copa America. Each club competition varies greatly from country to country. In England's top division, teams compete for a league and two knock-out cups. Successful teams will compete in a European competition the following year.
The Ryder Cup happens towards the ends of September every two years, 2010 is the next one. The matches start on the Friday, with a round of four fourballs and then four foursomes, and the same on the Saturday before all 12 players on each side play a singles match on the Sunday. 14 points retains the trophy, and 14.5 points wins the trophy.
