The Nations Cup (also the Prize of Nations) is a show jumping tournament series whose origins go back to 1909. The tournament series consists of several nations' prizes, which are held as part of CSIO tournaments.
The history
The first Nations Cup: 1909 to 1928
In 1909 the first two Nations Cups in show jumping were held independently of each other, more than a decade before the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) was founded. These therefore took place according to the rules of the respective national associations or according to the rules of the organizer.
The first Nations Cup in the history of show jumping took place in June 1909 as part of the London International Horse Show, which is still taking place today in the London Olympic Hall . Six equestrian teams with three participants each took part, with the French team winning ahead of Italy and Great Britain.
The second Nations Cup took place in San Sebastian, Spain, on September 17th, 1909. Seven teams with five riders each took part. Only four riders who had already competed in the first Nations Cup in London also took part in San Sebastian. Here the Italian team won ahead of Spain and Argentina. After that, San Sebastian was never again the venue for a Nations Cup in show jumping.
In 1910 Nations Cups were held in the London Olympics and in Brussels. From 1911 there was the first uniform set of rules for the Nations Cup. This year they took place in Rome , Turin , Brussels , London and New York's Madison Square Garden . The success of the various national teams led to the recognition and recognition of the relatively young sport in various countries at that time, which meant that show jumping became an Olympic discipline for the first time in 1912 . In the following years more and more national competitions were organized in show jumping.
The early years of the FEI: 1929-1939
The FEI, which was founded in 1921, directed the Olympic Games (equestrian disciplines) as well as the major international tournaments from 1929, including the Nations Cup in show jumping. In 1930 the FEI set up an international tournament calendar for the first time. As part of this calendar, the first calendar of Nations Cup tournaments was set up, which consisted of fourteen Nations Cup tournaments: Berlin, Aachen , Nice, Rome, Brussels, Lisbon, Warsaw, London, Lucerne, Geneva, Dublin , Boston, New York and Toronto. If one were to apply the current rules of the Nations Cup for the allocation of points, Italy would have won this year (with 34 points) ahead of Germany (27 points) and Switzerland (24 points).
In the 1930s, countries that had previously played hardly a role in the Nations Cup in show jumping gained increasing importance. While the national teams of France, Italy and Switzerland played a dominant role in the early years of the 20th century , Germany and Ireland increasingly assumed a leading role in the 1930s. From 1931 to 1938/1939 the German team won 29 Nations Cups, Ireland won 22 Nations Cups in the same period.
After the Second World War: 1945 to 1964
After the Second World War the first international horse shows took place again. In 1946, Nations Cups could be held again for the first time - in Dublin, New York and Toronto. In 1947 10 Nations Cups could be held again. In the years that followed, the number of national awards continued to increase. From 1952 on, (West) Germany, which was re-admitted to the FEI, gained importance in the Nations Cup. While several Nations Cups were previously allowed in one country, the number was limited to one Nations Cup per country in 1955 (exception: United States and Canada).
The President's Cup 1965 to 1984
Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh , elected President of the FEI at an FEI General Assembly , suggested the creation of a championship based on the results of the Nations Cup. As a prize for the winning team, he offered a trophy - the "Queen's trophy" - which depicts his wife, Queen Elisabeth II on horseback. This first Nations Cup in show jumping history was won by the British team in 1965. Great Britain won six of the 16 Nations Cups held this year (Madrid, Olsztyn, Dublin, Copenhagen, Ostend and Rotterdam) and thus achieved 34 points (ahead of Italy with 30 points and the Federal Republic of Germany with 28 points).
While Great Britain and the United States alternated as winners in the first four years, Great Britain (seven wins between 1969 and 1979) and the Federal Republic of Germany dominated the President's Cup in the following years.

The Prince Phillip Trophy and the Gucci Trophy: 1985 to 1989
In 1985 the President's Cup and the Queen's trophy were replaced by a new, annual championship. This scoring, which is based on a point system, was referred to in 1985 and 1986 as the "Prince Phillip Trophy". From 1987 onwards, the Nations Cup series had its first title sponsor for a period of three years: Gucci . In 1987, 17 Nations Cups were held as part of the “Gucci Trophy”; France won the title this year and the following.

The HCS Nations Cup and Nations Trophy: 1990 to 1996
In 1990, the Dutch technology company HCS took on the role of title sponsor of the Nations Cup. The sponsorship ended after a little over a year due to the economic crisis at the time. In addition, the first Nations Cup final took place during this time. This took place in September 1991 at the Zangersheide Stud near Lanaken and was won by the team from the United States of America.
After HCS left as title sponsor, the Nations Cup final was also abolished. From 1992 to 1996 a points system again decided the series victory, during which time the series was called the “Nations Trophy”.
The Samsung Nations Cup: 1997 to 2003
The Korean company Samsung began to be interested in sponsorship in international equestrian sports in autumn 1995. After lengthy negotiations, Samsung was convinced to become the title sponsor of the Nations Cup. A budget of 3 million Swiss francs was agreed for this. The first Samsung Nations Cup started on May 11, 1997 in La Baule, France. The first Samsung Nations Cup consisted of 17 Nations Cups, at the end of the season there was again a Nations Cup Final, this time at the Canadian Nations Cup Tournament in Spruce Meadows (Calgary). This final was part of the regular Nations Cup series including the award of points, only the amount of points awarded differed (double points). After the final it was clear: the United States of America had won the Samsung Nations Cup 1997 with 39.5 points, the Netherlands came second with 34 points. This year the prize for the most successful rider of the Nations Cup season was given for the first time. All faultless rounds of a rider are added up for the Nations Cups (for a Nations Cup, once without errors: 1 point; for a Nations Cup, twice without errors: 3 points). The winner in this ranking was the American Alison Firestone.
The second season of the Samsung Nations Cup already consisted of 30 Nations Cups, the final (according to the same rules as last year) took place on September 20, 1998 in Donaueschingen . The victory in the Nations Cup this year went to France.
Despite exciting finals in 1997 and 1998, the regulations were changed for the following season. There was again (like in 1991) a separate Nations Cup final, which took place in Gijón in 1999 . Although the Dutch team won the regular season, the final victory and thus the title of Nations Cup winner in 1999 went to France. This system was maintained for the next three years (2000 to 2002), Ireland won once and Germany twice the regular series. The final victory in 2000 went to Germany, 2001 to the Netherlands, 2002 to Italy and 2003 to Italy.
The Samsung Super League with FEI: 2003 to 2008
In 2003 the structure of the Nations Cup series was completely restructured. The "Samsung Super League" was created for the eight best national teams in the world. These competed in eight Nations Cups in Europe - La Baule, Rome, St. Gallen and Lucerne, Rotterdam, Aachen, Hickstead, Dublin and Barcelona. The CSIO Barcelona was always played as a Super League final, which (like the 1997 and 1998 finals) was part of the regular tournament series including the awarding of points, the only difference was the awarding of double points in the final.
From the remaining Nations Cups (in Europe, North and South America) a kind of second league of Nations Cups was created, which from 2003 to 2008 was called the Nations Cup. Within this series, rating points could be collected at the individual Nations Cups, the nation with the most points was the Nations Cup winner at the end of the season and thus entitled to participate in the Samsung Super League from the following year. In return, the team with the fewest points in a Super League season was relegated to the Nations Cup.

Meydan FEI Nations Cup / FEI Nations Cup: 2009 to 2012
After Samsung withdrew from funding the Nations Cup competitions in show jumping, the FEI began looking for a new sponsor. At the same time, work began on revising the regulations of the previous Samsung Super League. On February 1, 2009, around a hundred years after the first Nations Cup was held, a new sponsor was presented: the Meydan Group , builder of Meydan City including the new Dubai horse racing track . The newly created Nations Cup series, which is based on the previous Samsung Super League, is known as the "Meydan FEI Nations Cup". Instead of the previous eight, ten national teams can now take part in this series. The calendar of the series remains largely unchanged, only the previous finale in Barcelona was canceled, but the Swedish Falsterbo was added as a normal series station .
Instead of the previous Nations Cup as a subdivision of the Super League, the “Promotional League Europe” and the “Promotional League North and South America” have now been created. In addition, in 2010 a “Middle East Promotional League” was held. In 2011 the structure was changed again, the previous “Promotional League Europe” is separated from a Western European “Europa League” and an Eastern European “Challengers League”. The "Promotional League North and South America" is renamed "North and South America League". At the end of each season, the Promotional League final takes place at the CSIO Barcelona . Then it is decided which two nations will be promoted to the Meydan FEI Nations Cup. Conversely, two nations are relegated to the respective Promotional League every year.
The original mode of the "Meydan FEI Nations Cup" was only retained for one year. After Belgium and Great Britain were tied in penultimate place at the end of the 2009 season, it was decided to reduce the number of participating nations to eight by 2011. Great Britain appealed against their relegation, but this was rejected by the FEI Tribunal. As a result, the British Equestrian Federation went to the International Court of Justice (CAS). This decided that Great Britain can remain in the Meydan FEI Nations Cup. In 2010 ten teams took part in the Nations Cup series.
In April 2011 it was announced that Meydan will no longer sponsor the series from the 2011 season.
Winner of the Meydan FEI Nations Cup
Before the start of the 2009 season, the number of participating nations was increased to ten. Thus, after Sweden's relegation, three new nations starting places could be awarded. This was done on the basis of the placements of the top three show jumping riders of each nation in the world rankings. The rising nations were therefore Sweden, France and Canada. Since the national equestrian association of Canada waived, Italy moved into the Nations Cup season 2009.

Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup: 2013 to 2017
After a year without a sponsor, the Saudi Equestrian Fund, founded by the Saudi King Abdullah ibn Abd al-Aziz , became the new series sponsor in the 2012 season .
From the 2013 season, this was also reflected in the name and the regulations; the series was now called Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup , where the word Furusiyya is taken from Arabic and stands for (knightly) horsemanship. The aim was globalization and better financial support for the tournament series.
The new regulations were announced at the FEI General Assembly at the end of 2012. A compromise was found between the original plans and the interests of the European associations and organizers. Seven leagues were planned: Europe I, Europe II, North and Central America, South America, the Middle East, Asia / Australasia and Africa.
At the end of the season there was a final. In this final, 18 teams started each time. Since 2014, the German Nations Cup (usually as part of the CHIO Aachen , 2015 as part of the CSIO Mannheim ) is no longer part of the Nations Cup series.
The Saudi Arabian sponsorship ended in 2016, and in 2017 the tournament series took place without a main sponsor.

Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup: from 2018
Longines has been the name sponsor of the Nations Cup series since the 2017 Nations Cup finals.
In addition to a changed series mode, the 2018 season also brought a change in the venues: While these had changed regularly in the second European division in previous years, the first European division remained unchanged from 2014 to 2017. After it had already been indicated in the course of 2017 that Lummen as a Belgian Nations Cup tournament would no longer take place, the CSIO Rome 2018 is no longer part of the Nations Cup series. There it was decided to continue the tournament as an independent event outside of the FEI Nations Cup, but similar to the CHIO Aachen , Nations Cups will continue to be held.
The new start of the European Division 1 is Šamorín , for Rome the Polish Nations Cup tournament in Sopot , which was previously located in the second European division, moves up . Of the European Division 2, only Budapest remained part of the FEI Nations Cup due to the significant change in the regulations . Like the CSIO of Šamorín and the North American Nations Cup tournaments, this tournament will be upgraded to a CSIO 5 *, so that all tournaments of the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup will then belong to the highest tournament category in show jumping.
The timing of the Nations Cups is also new: with the exception of the CSIO Dublin, the traditional date on Friday afternoons will be abandoned. Instead, the Nations Cup will be held on Sunday afternoons to increase audience reach. In return, the Grand Prizes that have been held at this time will be postponed to Friday.

Samsung Super League
In the Samsung Super League, eight national teams (the same nations within one season, but riders and horses can change) competed against each other in eight national competitions. These Nations Cups were held as jumping competitions with two rounds and jump-off . In both the first and the second round, four horse-rider pairs (identical in the first and second round) formed a national team. Both in the first and in the second round, the result of a rider could be deleted and was therefore not included in the evaluation. At the end of the test, the teams will be ranked based on the penalty points they have received (regardless of time). In the event of a tie in first place, one participant (determined by the team boss) from the national teams placed first took part in a jump-off.
If the Nations Cup was held in a country that was not represented in the Super League this season, the national team was also allowed to compete in this Nations Cup. However, these were ignored in the rating system. The evaluation points were awarded according to the following system:
- 1st place: 10 evaluation points
- 2nd place: 7 evaluation points
- 3rd place: 5 points
- 4th place: 4 evaluation points
- 5th place: 3 evaluation points
- 6th place: 2 evaluation points
- 7th place: 1 point
- 8th place: 0.5 rating points
Double the number of points was awarded at the final in Barcelona. If a place in a Nations Cup was occupied twice due to the equality of two teams (except for first place), the number of evaluation points from this and the following place was added. This value was then divided by two (number of equally ranked national teams). The resulting number of evaluation points was awarded to both teams.
Nations Cup
All nations could take part in the Nations Cup. However, the results of the teams that were eligible (this year) to participate in the Samsung Super League have been removed from the overall statement. These tests were also held as jumping competitions with two rounds and jump-off . However, there were two different regulations, especially with regard to the second round:
- at CSIO 5 * tournaments: In the first round, all national teams started with four horse-rider pairs each. The six best national teams reached the second round after the first round. The penalty points were taken into the second round, in which (the same) four riders per nation were allowed to start. Both in the first and in the second round the result of a rider could be canceled.
- in CSIO 2 * to CSIO 4 * tournaments: In the first round, all national teams started with four horse-rider pairs each. The eight best national teams reached the second round after the first round. The penalty points were taken into the second round, in which three of the four riders from each participating nation were allowed to start. Therefore a result of a rider could only be deleted in the first round.
In both regulations, the teams were ranked at the end of the test based on the penalty points they had received (regardless of time). In the event of a tie in first place, one participant (determined by the team boss) from the national teams placed first took part in a jump-off. The award of points in the Nations Cup depended on the number of participating nations and the level of difficulty of the CSIO.
Series mode from 2009 to 2012
Meydan FEI Nations Cup
In the first years of the Meydan FEI Nations Cup, ten national teams (the same nations within a season, but riders and horses can change) competed against each other in eight nations' cups. These Nations Cups were held as jumping competitions with two rounds and jump-off . In both the first and the second round, four horse-rider pairs (identical in the first and second round) formed a national team. The eight best national teams reached the second round after the first round. In 2011 the number of teams was reduced to eight in both rounds.
Both in the first and in the second round, the result of a rider could be deleted and was therefore not included in the evaluation. At the end of the test, the teams were placed on the basis of the penalty points they had received (regardless of time). In the event of a tie on first place, one participant (determined by the team boss) per team placed first was allowed to take part in a jump-off.
If the Nations Cup took place in a country that is not represented in the Nations Cup this season, the national team of nations was also allowed to compete in this country. However, this was disregarded in the rating system. She was allowed to take part in the second round as long as her result in the first round was not worse than that of the eighth-placed regular participating team. The evaluation points were awarded according to the following system:
- 1st place: 10 evaluation points
- 2nd place: 7 evaluation points
- 3rd place: 6 evaluation points
- 4th place: 5 evaluation points
- 5th place: 4 evaluation points
- 6th place: 3 evaluation points
- 7th place: 2 evaluation points
- 8th place: 1 point
- 9th and 10th place: no evaluation points
Promotional Leagues
The regulations for the "Promotional Leagues" were identical to those of the Nations Cup from 2003 to 2008. However, depending on the continent, the tournaments were divided into different Promotional League series.
The Promotional Leagues series were:
- Europaliga - from 2009, from 2011 only Central and Western Europe
- North and South American League - from 2009.
- Challengers League ( Challengers League ) - from 2011, previously part of the European League
- Middle East League - played in 2010 only
At the end of the season, a Promotional League final was held, which took place in Barcelona . The six best teams in the Europa League as well as the best team in any other Promotional League were allowed to take part. If one of the teams did not participate, the next team in the relevant Promotional League moved up. The two best-placed national teams in this final advanced to the Meydan FEI Nations Cup next season.
Series mode from 2013 to 2017
General
With the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup, the regulations were also significantly changed. Seven leagues were planned: Europe I, Europe II, North and Central America, South America, Middle East, Asia / Australasia and Africa. However, since Nations Cup tournaments are not held at the intended level all over the world, only four leagues were held (Europe I, Europe II, North and Central America, Middle East).
Each national association had to select the Nations Cup at the beginning of the season, in which its own team could collect points for participation in the finals. In Europe, this was half of the tournaments in each league. Further starts in other Nations Cups outside of their own league were possible, but no rating points could be collected.
Valuation points were awarded at each Nations Cup in the series. The points were initially awarded as follows:
| space | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4th | 5 | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9 | 10 | Further |
| Points | 100 | 90 | 82 | 75 | 70 | 66 | 65 | 64 | 60 | 59 | no points |
From 2014, the rating points were awarded according to a changed system:
| space | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4th | 5 | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9 | 10 | Further |
| Points | 100 | 90 | 80 | 70 | 60 | 55 | 50 | 45 | 40 | 35 | no points |
Season finale
Eighteen teams qualified for the final of the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup: six from Europe 1, three from Europe 2, two from North and Central America, two from South America, two from the Middle East, two from Asia / Australasia and one from Africa. If the host country of the final does not qualify, it should start as the 19th team.
European League 1
Europe represented a special case: although the aforementioned rules apply, there were also special regulations. In 2013 and 2017, the Europa League 1 comprised eight teams, and from 2014 to 2016 ten teams. The stations of the previous FEI Nations Cup (La Baule, Rome, St. Gallen, Rotterdam, Aachen, Falsterbo, Hickstead, Dublin) were selected as special tests. In 2014 Lummen replaced the station in Aachen because the CHIO there is no longer part of the Nations Cup.
The best six teams from the FEI Nations Cup 2012 and the two promoted teams from the FEI Nations Cup Promotional Leagues 2012 formed the Europa League 1 in 2013. From 2014, the teams in the Europa League 1 were redefined every year.
Participants in Europa League 1 in 2014 and 2015 were:
- European teams that came in first to third in the Nations Cup final of the previous year (if they do not waive),
- the two leading teams of the final overall ranking of the Europa League 2 of the previous year (if they do not waive),
- the five best-placed teams in the final overall ranking of the Europa League 1 of the previous year that are not already qualified by number 1,
- in the case of waivers: other teams from last year's Europa League 1
In the 2016 season, three teams rose from the Europa League 1, while only one team from the Europa League 2 rose to the 2017 season (best team in the Europa League 2 in the 2016 Nations Cup final). As of 2017, the Europa League 1 again comprised only eight teams.
The Europa League 2 was formed from the other European Nations Cups, in which the remaining European teams start.
Series mode from 2018
General
The Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup retained the basic structure of six regions (Europe, North and Central America, South America, Middle East, Asia / Australasia and Africa) and a Nations Cup final, but a number of details were changed.
Valuation points are awarded at each Nations Cup in the series. Points are awarded as follows:
| space | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4th | 5 | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9 | 10 |
| Points | 100 | 90 | 80 | 70 | 60 | 55 | 50 | 45 | 40 | 35 |
Europe Division 1
In the Europe Division 1, the ten best European nations compete with their teams. Qualified for the 2018 season are the eight teams that belonged to this league in the previous year as well as the two best-placed teams in the overall ranking of the second European division 2017, provided they took part in the 2017 Nations Cup finals.
At the beginning of the season, each national association must select the five nations' prizes, in which their own team can collect points for participation in the finals. Further starts in other Nations Cups outside of your own league are possible, but no rating points can be collected for these.
Europe Division 2, Middle East and North America
The European Division 2 consists of only one qualifying tournament for the Nations Cup final in 2018. For this purpose, the other European teams were divided into four groups, from which one to three teams are entitled to start in the qualifying tournament. The groups function like their own, small leagues: Nations get the right to start the qualification tournament by collecting points in their group in the nations' prize. These Nations Cups are not part of the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup.
A qualifying tournament for this region will be held in the Middle East. In North America, three Nations Cups of the FEI Nations Cup are held, there is an overall ranking as in the European Division 1.
Season finale
The number of teams that qualify for the final of the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup is usually 18: from Europe 1 seven, from Europe 2 two, from North and Central America two, South America two, the Middle East two, Asia / Australasia two and a team from Africa. However, two other teams can be added: The host country of the final if it has not qualified and a third nation from the Middle East, if for political reasons not all teams eligible to start can participate in the qualifying tournament there.
