The 2007 Seve Trophy took place between 27 and 30 September at The Heritage Golf & Spa Resort in Ireland. The team captain for Great Britain and Ireland was Nick Faldo, with the captain for Continental Europe being Seve Ballesteros. Great Britain and Ireland retained the trophy for the third consecutive time.

Format

The teams competed over four days with five fourball matches on both Thursday and Friday, four greensomes matches on Saturday morning, four foursomes matches on Saturday afternoon and ten singles on Sunday. It means a total of 28 points are available with 14½ points required for victory. If the score finished at 14-14, then two players from each team would play the 18th using the greensomes format to find the winner.{{fact|date=December 2020}}

Each member of the winner team received €125,000, the losing team €75,000 each, giving a total prize fund of €2,000,000.{{cite web |url=http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2007/tournamentid=2007082/news/newsid=113359.html#final+results+prize+money |title=Final Results & Prize Money |publisher=PGA European Tour |accessdate=30 August 2013}}
