Steve Guerdat won the Rolex Grand Prix of Ireland, emerging victorious from a nine-horse jump-off field. The competition, held as part of the Dublin Horse Show, featured a technical course designed by Alan Wade consisting of 14 obstacles and 17 efforts with an 80-second time allowed.

Arne van Heel opened the jump-off phase with a clear round on Keaton HV, setting a benchmark of 41.47 seconds. Ireland's Jordan Coyle provided a strong challenge, finishing second aboard Chaccolino with a time of 39.27 seconds.
