The 2009 edition of The Solheim Cup was not only exciting and brought down to the wire before the U.S. Team defeated the European Team 16-12, but records were set. A few by Laura Davies, of Europe, include being the only player to compete in all stagings of The Solheim Cup (11), but also is the player who has competed in the most number of matches (43 of 48) and foursome matches (17 of 18).

Evidence of the close competition between both teams came in a record number of matches (14) that played out to 18 holes. Twelve matches went to the 18th hole in 1996 and in 2007. This year, six Four-Ball and Singles matches played to the full 18 holes, while only two Foursome matches lasted 18 holes.

For the United States, Juli Inkster owns the record for most points scored in The Solheim Cup by a U.S. Team member with 18 points in eight appearances (tied in team appearances with 2009 Solheim Cup U.S. Team Captain Beth Daniel and co-captain Meg Mallon).
