The event is played in September, in years when there is no Ryder Cup. Initially this meant even numbered years, but because the 2001 Ryder Cup was postponed by a year due to the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001, the Seve Trophy is now played in odd numbered years.
In 2005 and 2007, it was held in the same week as Europe's Ryder Cup opponents, Team USA, took on the "International Team" in the Presidents Cup. In 2009, the two team events did not conflict, but the Seve Trophy was scheduled opposite the final event of the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoffs, The Tour Championship.
