What: Samsung Nations’ Cup, presented by Canadian National (international team show jumping competition)

When: Friday, March 8 at 12:00 pm during the Cosequin Winter Equestrian Festival

Where: Palm Beach Polo Equestrian Club in Wellington, FL.

Featuring: The 30th annual Cosequin Winter Equestrian Festival will host the United States’ first-ever outdoor Nations’ Cup (international team show jumping competition).

Wellington is only the fifth U.S. location for a Nations’ Cup since the first Nations’ Cup was held in London, England in 1909. The first Nations’ Cup in the U.S. was at the National Horse Show in New York in 1911. The National Horse Show continued to host Nations’ Cups through 1998, missing only the years 1914-1924 and 1942-1945. Other U.S. cities to host Nations’ Cups are Boston (1929-1932), Harrisburg (1948-1963, 1965-1966, 1969-1972) and Washington D.C. (1973-present).

Generally, there is only one Nations’ Cup per country in a given year, although there are exceptions to this. Canada, for example, hosts Nations’ Cups at both Calgary and Toronto and the U.S. has generally hosted two.
