In 1919 en 1920 was een toernooi georganiseerd tussen de Verenigde Staten en Canada. Het initiatief om in diezelfde formule ook tegen andere landen te spelen kwam van George Herbert Walker, die in 1920 de voorzitter was van de Amerikaanse Golffederatie (USGA) en lid van de National Golf Links of America in Southampton, (NY). Hij stelde ook de trofee ter beschikking.
In 1921 werden teams uit andere landen uitgenodigd, maar alleen Groot-Brittannië nam de uitnodiging voor 1922 aan. De eerste Walker Cup werd gespeeld op de thuisclub van Walker. In het jaar daarop vormde William C. Fownes, de Amerikaanse amateurkampioen uit 1910 en captain van de teams die tegen Canada hadden gespeeld, een team en nam dat mee naar St Andrews Links in Schotland.
