How Much Can You Earn Renting Your Home for the Ryder Cup 2027?
The Ryder Cup 2027 at Adare Manor is shaping up to be the most significant sporting event ever held in Munster — and for homeowners across Limerick, Clare, Kerry, and Tipperary, it represents a genuine once-in-a-generation earning opportunity.
But how much can you actually earn? And what factors determine whether your home commands top rates or sits in the middle of the market?
Here is an honest, practical breakdown of what Ryder Cup rental income looks like for Irish homeowners — including what happened at the most recent Ryder Cup in 2025.
What the 2025 Ryder Cup Tells Us
The most recent Ryder Cup took place at Bethpage Black in New York in September 2025 — and the private rental market around the venue was remarkable. Homeowners within a few miles of the course listed properties for $20,000 to over $35,000 for the week. One three-bedroom home about a mile from the course was reported to be rented for close to $30,000 for just four nights.
Demand for short-term rentals across Long Island during Ryder Cup week was 87% higher than the same period the previous year, with average nightly rates up 145% compared to normal levels.
"They're going in upwards of $35,000 a week" — Savannah Figueroa, Signature Premier Properties, speaking about Bethpage Black area rentals during the 2025 Ryder Cup (Fox 5 New York, September 2025)
Ireland is a different market to New York — property values, local dynamics, and visitor patterns are all different. But the underlying demand pattern is the same: a once-in-a-generation sporting event, a finite supply of accommodation near the venue, and tens of thousands of international visitors willing to pay premium rates for a private home.
Adare Manor in Co. Limerick has a further advantage that Bethpage Black did not — it is set in the heart of one of Europe's most beautiful and sought-after tourist destinations. International visitors coming for the Ryder Cup 2027 will be travelling to Ireland, not just to a golf course.
What Makes the Ryder Cup Different to Other Events?
Most sporting events draw fans for a day or two. The Ryder Cup is different. It runs across a full week, with practice days, pro-am events, and the main competition spanning several days. This means visitors are looking for accommodation for anything from three nights to a full week.
That matters for your rental income because:
Longer stays mean higher total income. A weekly rate of €6,000 is achievable where a nightly rate of €500 would struggle to fill every night.
Group bookings are common. Ryder Cup fans frequently travel in groups of four, six, or eight friends. A 4-bedroom home becomes very attractive — and valuable — to a group splitting the cost.
Corporate bookings command premium rates. As seen at Bethpage in 2025, corporate sponsors actively sought private homes for executives and clients. The same will happen at Adare Manor.
The Factors That Determine Your Rate
Location
Distance from Adare Manor is the single biggest factor. Properties within 20 minutes of the venue will command the highest rates. That said, properties within 60 to 90 minutes are still highly attractive, particularly for visitors who plan to attend on specific days rather than every day.
Areas that are particularly well-placed include Limerick City, Adare village, Newcastle West, Ennis, Tralee, Killarney, and the North Kerry coastline.
Size
The more bedrooms, the higher the potential rate — but only if the home can comfortably accommodate the number of guests. A well-presented 3-bedroom home that sleeps six comfortably will outperform a cramped 5-bedroom that feels overcrowded.
Presentation
First impressions matter enormously. Visitors paying premium rates for Ryder Cup week expect a clean, well-maintained, welcoming home. Good photographs — ideally taken in good light showing each room to its best — make a significant difference to the enquiries you receive and the rate you can justify.
Amenities
The features that make the biggest difference to Ryder Cup renters include:
• A well-equipped kitchen — guests staying for the week will want to prepare some meals at home
• Reliable broadband — non-negotiable for modern travellers
• Parking — a significant advantage given the volume of visitors travelling by car
• Outdoor space — a garden or patio where a group can relax together adds real value
• A comfortable living area — space for a group to gather in the evenings matters
Listing Early
This is more important than many homeowners realise. Visitors planning a trip to the Ryder Cup 2027 — particularly those travelling from the United States or mainland Europe — begin researching and booking accommodation well in advance. Properties listed now will be found first as search interest grows through 2026 and peaks in early 2027.
A Real-World Example
Consider a 4-bedroom home in Limerick City, 20 minutes from Adare Manor. The home sleeps eight, has a large kitchen and sitting room, reliable broadband, and off-street parking. It is clean, well-presented, and photographed well.
A group of eight American golf fans travelling together for the week — splitting the cost between them — would pay €8,000 to €10,000 for that home without hesitation. Divided eight ways, that is €1,000 to €1,250 each for a week's accommodation at one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world. It represents exceptional value for the renter and exceptional income for the homeowner.
At Bethpage in 2025, groups were paying far more than that for comparable properties. The Adare Manor market will find its own level — but the appetite is there.
How to Maximise Your Rental Income
The homeowners who achieve the best Ryder Cup rental rates will be those who:
• List early — visibility now leads to bookings later
• Price confidently — this is an exceptional event and renters expect to pay accordingly
• Present the home well — invest in good photographs and a thorough clean before listing
• Take a security deposit — it protects you and signals to renters that you are organised and professional
• Be clear and responsive — renters making a significant booking want to deal with a homeowner who communicates promptly and clearly
A Note on Tax
Short-term rental income in Ireland is taxable, and you should speak with an accountant about your specific situation ahead of renting your home. Allowable expenses — including costs incurred in preparing your home for rental and cleaning costs — can be offset against your rental income.
