Two Decades of Equestrian Excellence: Monaco Prepares for Landmark International Jumping Competition

The Principality of Monaco will centralize the international equestrian community next month as it hosts the 20th Jumping International de Monte-Carlo. Scheduled from July 2 to July 4, 2026, the milestone anniversary edition marks two decades of high-stakes show jumping within the unique urban framework of the Port of Monaco.

Organized by International Jumping Monte-Carlo, the event has established itself as a premier fixture on the global equestrian calendar, seamlessly merging elite athletic competition with the Principality's distinct cultural backdrop. Adding to the symbolic weight of this year’s anniversary, the 2026 competition aligns with the Year of the Horse in the Chinese calendar - a convergence highlighted by organizers as a reflection of the strength, grace, and nobility at the core of the sport.

The three-day provisional sports program features some of the most prestigious circuits in competitive riding, including the Longines Global Champions Tour, the Global Champions League, and the Longines Pro-Am Cup. The world-class fields ensure a high level of sporting discipline, generating the palpable tension and shared emotion characteristic of the Monte-Carlo arena.
