Each team consisted of two players from a country. The combined score of each team determined the team results. The American team of Jimmy Demaret and Sam Snead won by 12 strokes over the Australian team of Kel Nagle and Peter Thomson.

The Canada Cup was played at the same time as the Memphis Open, an official event on the 1961 PGA Tour. Under a PGA Tour rule, the three, as winners of official PGA Tour events in the previous 12 months, were unable to play in non-tour events where they clashed with official events. The sponsors of the Memphis Open refused to allow the three to play in the Canada Cup with the result that the players withdrew from both events.PGA rocked by disputes over tournament, membership rules 40 http://archive.lib.msu.edu/tic/golfd/article/1961jun40.pdf Golfdom June 1961 December 30, 2016 They were replaced by Al Johnston, Jimmy Demaret and Harold Henning.
