It runs Aug. 30 thru Sept. 1 at Sunningdale GC (Old Course) in Berkshire, ENG. You have to pay for tickets here (it was free when I attended in U.S. in 1990 and 2022). I have a hunch they'll be charging money at Pine Valley.
USA squashed GB&I at Merion in 2022 ... don't know about this one as there is almost a complete turnover on both rosters. However, if you buy the WAGR rankings, the USA will crush them again.
Future sites:
2026: Bel-Air Country Club, Los Angeles, Calif../June 12-14
2030: National Golf Links of America, Southampton, N.Y../June 7-9
2034: Pine Valley Golf Club, Pine Valley, N.J./Dates TBD
2038: Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, Bandon, Ore./Dates TBD

It was announced that some place in Scotland called Royal Dornoch will host the 2028 Curtis Cup.

Unlike Scotland the weather is looking good down south. Last time I was at Sunningdale I saw Tom Watson in British Senior Open

Maybe if Team USA didn't look like they were at a Taylor Swift concert they may have won. Who thought it was good idea to wear face transfers needs to take a long look at themselves. Congratulations to Team GB&I - let's hope they avoid going out with Charley to celebrate!
