Notes: Team United States entered the final day of the 2026 Curtis Cup with a two-point lead, seven points to Team Great Britain & Ireland's five points. For a while it appeared GB&I would rally — Patience Rhodes and Sophia Fullbrook won the first two singles matches for GB&I to tie the score. But Team USA went 6-for-6 after that, running the board on the remaining singles matches to produce the 13-7 final score.

Farah O'Keefe, a junior on the University of Texas golf team, went 5-0-0 for Team USA. She was the fourth golfer in Curtis Cup history to play the maximum five matches and win all five. In singles, O'Keefe trailed her college teammate Charlotte Naughton, 2-down, through 12 holes. But she rallied for a 2-and-1 victory that provided the winning point for her squad.

Team USA was the home team for this Cup, and the 6-point final margin of victory was in line with recent home wins by the American side. Team USA won each of its past seven home Cups by an average of seven points.
