The Ireland–Scotland Professional Match was an annual men's professional golf competition between teams representing Ireland and Scotland. It was played from 1932 to 1936. The match was played on a single day with 10 players in each team who played 5 foursomes and 10 singles matches. The first match in 1932 was tied but Ireland won the next four contests.
The two countries played a match on 18 May 1907, just before the Irish Professional Championship. On that occasion the Scottish team was weak and Ireland won by 13 matches to 4.[1]
The 1932 match was played as a match between the Irish and Scottish PGA Associations which meant that Mark Seymour, an Englishman, played for Scotland, where he was resident, and Sydney Fairweather, a Scot who was the professional at Malone Golf Club, played for Ireland.[2]
