FEI Nations Cup
Show jumping series
The FEI Nations Cup, called Longines FEI Nations Cup since 2013 because of sponsorship reasons, is the most prestigious Show Jumping series for national teams in the world. It is organized by the Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI).
History
The Nations Cup has been held since 1909 and it has been under Fédération Équestre Internationale supervision since 1930.
After World War II it changed names several times: Queen’s Trophy, President’s Cup and Prince Philip Trophy. In 1987 the tournament established its first commercial sponsor and was named Gucci Trophy after Italian fashion and leather goods brand Gucci. It was followed by the Dutch technological brand HCS in 1990, and changed again in 1997 when Samsung overtook sponsorship. The Cup was named Samsung Nations Cup from 1997 to 2002 and Samsung Super League between 2003 and 2008. In 2009 and 2010 the Nations Cup series was sponsored by the Meydan Group (the builder of the Meydan Racecourse in Dubai) and called Meydan FEI Nations Cup. In 2011 and 2012 commercial sponsorship was dropped and it was called only FEI Nations Cup, to retake a commercial name in 2013 as Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup.
2009–2012
Between 2009 and 2012 it consisted of the Top League and the Promotional League.
