How much can I charge for my house during the Ryder Cup?

It depends on size, distance from Adare and quality. The organisers' guide prices were reported at about €2,700 per bedroom for an 8-night stay within an hour of Adare, roughly €340 per bedroom a night, and asking prices for whole homes run from a few thousand euro to well over €20,000 for the week. Use the calculator above as a starting point and check similar listings.

Yes. Listing is free. You pay once per listing, €49 for a room or €99 for a whole home, only when you want to reply to guests, and that covers every enquiry on that listing. No commission on your booking.

Can I also list with the official programme or other sites?

Yes. We don't ask for exclusivity, and the more places guests can find you the better. Just keep your availability up to date everywhere so you don't double-book.

Do I pay tax on Ryder Cup rental income?

Generally yes. Revenue says rent-a-room relief doesn't cover short-term guests, including bookings made online, so the income usually has to be declared. Speak to an accountant or check revenue.ie.

Do I need to register my home?

A national short-term letting register run by Fáilte Ireland is due to open on 1 December 2026, covering lets of up to 21 nights, with registration required by 31 December 2026 once the law is in force. Check failteireland.ie for the current position.

How do guests pay me?

Directly, as you agree with them. We don't take bookings or payments. Most hosts take a deposit by bank transfer and the balance before arrival, with the terms in writing.

Which dates can I offer?

Any nights from 6 to 26 September 2027: the week before, Ryder Cup week and the week after. Many groups want 3 to 5 nights around the match days, Friday 17 to Sunday 19 September.

Rent your home for the Ryder Cup 2027: prices, tax and how to list

What could you charge?

A rough guide, not a valuation. It's based on the organisers' reported guide prices (about €2,700 per bedroom for 8 nights within an hour of Adare) and published asking prices. Quality, parking, bathrooms and how close you are to Adare all move the price.

Whatever you earn, there's no commission here: just €99 once for a home (€49 for a room), however many guests you talk to.

List free. Pay once, only when guests enquire.

What Ryder Cup guests are looking for

The matches run from Friday 17 to Sunday 19 September 2027, with practice days from Monday 13. Many groups want 3 to 5 nights around the match days; the official programme lets homes on an 8-night basis (Sunday 12 to Monday 20 September). Groups of friends want separate beds and enough bathrooms (the official programme reportedly expects at least one bathroom for every two bedrooms), parking, and a realistic way to reach the park-and-ride or Limerick Colbert station.

Setting your price

Price per night and set a minimum stay (3 or 4 nights is common for the match days).
Show an all-in price. Guests compare totals, so hidden cleaning fees put people off.
Be realistic. Headline asking prices of €50,000 or more make the news, but most bookings will be far lower. Price competitively and early: the first hosts to reply usually get the booking.
Offer the shoulder weeks too. Some visitors arrive early or stay on for golf and touring.

Tax

Revenue says rent-a-room relief does not apply to short-term guests, including bookings made through online platforms, so income from Ryder Cup week generally has to be declared and taxed. Keep a record of what you receive and your costs, and ask an accountant if you're unsure.

Insurance

Tell your home insurer before you let your home. Many standard home policies don't cover paying guests, so you may need to extend your cover or buy short-term letting insurance.

The short-term letting register

The Government has said a national register for short-term lets of up to 21 nights, run by Fáilte Ireland, opens on 1 December 2026, with registration required by 31 December 2026 once the legislation is in force. Each property gets a registration number that has to appear on its listings. Check failteireland.ie for the latest before you take bookings.

Getting your home ready

Clear personal items and valuables, and leave space in wardrobes.
Check smoke alarms, a fire blanket and a first-aid kit, and leave emergency numbers.
Write a short house guide: Wi-Fi, heating, bins, parking and the way to the park-and-ride.
Good photos in daylight sell the place: every bedroom, the bathrooms, the kitchen and the outside.

Staying safe

Talk to guests before you agree anything, and get the booking terms in writing.
Take a deposit by bank transfer and the balance before arrival. Never send money to a guest, and be wary of "overpayment" stories.
Be careful with any website that wants a large fee before you've had a single enquiry. Here, listing is free and you only pay once you have real, email-confirmed enquiries.

What the booking platforms really cost

Airbnb now charges most hosts a single 15.5% fee on every booking, taken from your payout, and adds Irish VAT (23%) to that fee unless you're VAT-registered: about 19.1% in all. Booking.com's commission for holiday homes is typically around 15% (it varies by property and goes up with its promotion programmes), also plus VAT, and about 1–3% more in payment fees if guests pay through Booking.com. On a big Ryder Cup booking that adds up fast. Here you pay €99 once for a home (€49 for a room), with nothing added.

Where else can I list?

Ryder Cup Europe's official property rental programme lists homes for a fee (reportedly about €295, or a managed option), and there are paid listing sites and the usual booking platforms. You can use more than one. Just keep your availability up to date so you don't double-book.
