LGCT in Rome
Top show jumpers take over the Circus Maximus, 10-12 October 2025
From 10 to 12 October 2025, Rome will once again become the capital of equestrian sport as it hosts the 14th leg of the Longines Global Champions Tour – the prestigious annual show jumping series founded in 2006 by Olympic gold medallist Jan Tops. For three unforgettable days, the Circus Maximus – once the stage for chariot races in Imperial Rome – will embrace its equestrian heritage, welcoming the world’s top riders and horses for the fifth consecutive year.
Widely regarded as the “Equestrian F1”, the LGCT unites the highest-ranked combinations in the FEI Jumping World Ranking, delivering a unique blend of athletic excellence, technical precision and breathtaking spectacle. Rome is a decisive stop on the road to the season finale: after the Eternal City, the Tour heads to Riyadh (30 October – 1 November) before the ultimate showdown at the O2 Arena in Prague (20-23 November), where the Super Grand Prix champion will claim the coveted title and a prize of €1.25 million.
Since 2013, Longines has been the Title Partner and Official Timekeeper of the circuit, embodying the values of precision, elegance and innovation. The Swiss watchmaker not only measures every decisive second of the competition, but also enhances the prestige and exclusivity that make each leg of the Tour a true journey into the world of elite show jumping.
The 2025 season, which opened on 27 February in Doha, spans 16 stages across some of the world’s most iconic cities – from New York to Paris, Monaco to Mexico City, London to Shanghai. Each destination offers its own unique flavour, from art and history to gastronomic excellence, while more than €36 million in prize money underlines the Tour’s status as one of the most coveted and lucrative circuits in international sport.
Rome has already delivered unforgettable moments on the Tour. In 2024, the CSI5* Grand Prix (1.60m with jump-off, prize fund €500,000) at the Circus Maximus was claimed by Luxembourg’s Victor Bettendorf aboard Foxy de la Roque in a blistering 34.07 seconds. France’s Simon Delestre and I Amelusina R 51 (37.51) took second, ahead of Germany’s Janne Friederike Meyer-Zimmermann on Messi van ’t Ruytershof (39.76). Among the home riders, Piergiorgio Bucci impressed with Hantano, finishing sixth in 45.78.
In the CSI2* (1.45m, prize fund €25,000), Italy celebrated with Luca Coata and Holly del Rilate securing victory in 39.50, followed by Eleonora Sanna with Amaretto Daisy (41.91) and the USA’s Sterling Malnik on Cup du Marais (39.62).
In 2025, Rome is set to write a new chapter in sport and entertainment, in a setting like no other: the grandstands of the Circus Maximus glowing at sunset, golden light cast over ancient ruins, and the vibrant energy of a cosmopolitan audience. In this atmosphere, every jump becomes part of a living fresco, stirring emotions that transcend sport itself.
The Longines Global Champions Tour is more than performance and competition: it’s also luxury hospitality overlooking the arena, VIP lounges, family-friendly areas, children’s activities, and exclusive opportunities to meet the stars of the sport. An experience designed to make every spectator feel part of the magic.
Three days of world-class sport and entertainment promise an unforgettable experience, blending the adrenaline of competition with the allure of the Eternal City and the warmth of a passionate international audience.
