The 2007 Palmer Cup was held on June 7–8, 2007 on the Caves Valley Golf Club, Owings Mills, Maryland. The United States won 18 to 6.[1] Europe took a 3–1 lead on the first morning but the United States won all 8 of the afternoon singles matches to lead 9–3.
On Thursday, there were four matches of four-ball in the morning, followed by eight singles matches in the afternoon. Four foursomes matches were played on the Friday morning with a further eight singles in the afternoon. In all, 24 matches were played.

Eight college golfers from the United States and Europe participated in the event.
