The event was played in years when there is no Ryder Cup. Initially this meant even numbered years, but because the 2001 Ryder Cup was postponed by a year due to [[September 11 attacks|the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001]], the Seve Trophy was then played in odd numbered years. In 2002 both events were played.

In 2000 and 2002, the event was played in April but from 2003 it was played in the autumn. In 2005, 2007 and 2013 it was held in the same week as Europe's Ryder Cup opponents, Team USA, took on the "International Team" in the [[Presidents Cup]], while in 2009 and 2011 it was scheduled during the PGA Tour's [[FedEx Cup]] playoffs.

The Seve Trophy was an "approved special event" on the [[European Tour]]. A week in the tour schedule was set aside for it, but the prize money did not count towards the [[Race to Dubai]] (previously the Order of Merit).

The 2013 event was the last.<ref>{{cite web |last=Kelley |first=Brent |url=http://golf.about.com/od/teamcompetitions/p/seve-trophy.htm |title=Seve Trophy Golf Tournament |publisher=About.com |date=12 April 2016 |accessdate=12 October 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Corrigan |first=James |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/10034760/Jose-Maria-Olazabal-urges-leading-players-to-save-Vivendi-Seve-Trophy.html |title=Jose Maria Olazabal urges leading players to save Vivendi Seve Trophy |newspaper=The Telegraph |date=2 May 2013 |accessdate=12 October 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |first=Kevin |last=Garside |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/golf/kevin-garside-missing-stars-reveal-seve-trophys-true-status-8854720.html |title=Missing stars reveal Seve Trophy's true status |newspaper=The Independent |date=2 October 2013 |accessdate=12 October 2016}}</ref>
