The giant golf ball is more than an eye-catching display; it’s a reminder that in just two short years, the Ryder Cup will bring international visitors, media, and excitement to Limerick and the wider region.

A City Alive with Anticipation

The Ryder Cup is one of the most prestigious events in world sport, and the countdown to Adare 2027 is officially underway. While the handover itself takes place in New York, celebrations here in Limerick ensure our city is firmly part of the moment. Alongside the castle installation, festive displays, banners, and lighting can be seen across the county — all showcasing Limerick’s readiness to welcome the world.

Building Momentum to 2027

The Ryder Cup will be more than a golf tournament for Limerick — it will be an opportunity to showcase our heritage, hospitality, and culture on a global stage.

The temporary golf ball at King John’s Castle captures that spirit: a blend of tradition and modernity, pride and anticipation. We invite locals and visitors alike to see the installation, capture a photo, and join us in celebrating this historic countdown to 2027.
