America has enjoyed a fairly lop-sided overall victory ratio, having won from 1922 to 1938 and from 1947 to 1969 and 1973 to 1987! Only recently has the United Kingdom been victorious, winning slightly less than fifty percent of the events since 1989.

It began as a tournament solely between United Kingdom and the United States. It has stayed that way since becoming organized by the R&A and becoming part of the USGA. There has been no move or desire on the part of its organizers to change invitations to include all European nations. The Walker Cup is played every odd numbered year. Since 1922, the Walker Cup trophy has been awarded biennially to the winner of a competition between U.S. and Britain, keeping its current title, which is in honor of the event's original organizer. George Walker was the President of the USGA at the time of the competition's creation.
