Team Europe

Team Europe may refer to a number of sports team using the designate to represent a unified team of European countries in sporting competitions. Whilst neither the European Union nor the Council of Europe are countries themselves, European teams have been formed to compete in several international competitions. The most famous of these is the Ryder Cup in golf which sees a European team play against a team from the US in even-numbered years. In association football, a selection of European footballers play occasionally for charity games and anniversary games in the Europe XI team.
