Longines Global Champions Tour Super Grand Prix

The Ultimate Final Showdown

Sixteen of the best riders on the planet - each earning their place with victory on this year’s Longines Global Champions Tour - will face off for the final time in 2025 in the Longines Global Champions Tour Super Grand Prix.

From the season’s opener in Doha to unforgettable stages in Shanghai, Madrid, St. Tropez, Paris, London, New York, and Riyadh, every Grand Prix win has built towards this defining moment. Now, these 16 champions will take on two challenging 1.65m courses inside Prague’s electrifying O2 Arena, where precision, composure, and courage will decide who rises above the rest.

Each stride will count. Each second could decide it all. This is the ultimate test of talent and tenacity - the one that crowns the LGCT Super Grand Prix Champion.

GCL Super Cup

Where Teams Meet for the Final Face-Off

The GCL Super Cup is the grand finale of team sport in show jumping - a dramatic, high-stakes knockout battle where the world’s best teams fight for their share of €10 million and the right to be called GCL Super Cup Champions.

Across 2025, 17 teams battled it out for every ranking point - but only the top 16 have earned a coveted ticket to the GC Playoffs. From there, the pressure intensifies:

The Quarter Final sees the 12 teams ranked 5th–16th on the overall standings go head-to-head over a demanding 1.55m course. Each team fields three riders, with no drop scores - meaning every rail, every second, every round matters. The top eight teams progress to the Semi Final, where they’ll join the four highest-ranked teams from the regular season, who have automatically qualified.

That makes 12 teams in the Semi Final, each taking on a technical 1.60m track in a bid to make the cut for the Final. Only six teams will advance - and over two decisive 1.60m rounds, the 2025 GCL Super Cup Champions will be crowned.

It’s show jumping’s most intense team test - three riders, no margin for error, and everything to lose.
