The 7th Solheim Cup Match was held between September 20 and September 22, 2002, at Interlachen Country Club, Edina, Minnesota, USA. Team USA won the trophy for the fifth time by a score of 15 to 12 points. Rosie Jones gained the winning point in her victory over Karine Icher.

This was the last Solheim Cup to be held in an even-numbered year, as the next Solheim Cup would take place in 2003 and every odd-numbered year thereafter.

Teams

The European team was supposed to be made up of seven automatic qualifiers and five wild card picks but there was a tie for seventh position so there were eight automatic qualifiers and only four picks from Captain Dale Reid.{{cite web | archive-date = September 27, 2007 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070927205437/http://www.thegolfchannel.com/core.aspx?page=15104&select=7257 | url-status = dead | archive-date = September 30, 2007 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070930015300/http://www.thegolfchannel.com/core.aspx?page=15104&dv=4618285&select=7253&select2=1&v.pos=901&h.pos=0 | url-status = dead
