The Longines Global Champions Tour, an international showjumping circuit, scheduled its thirteenth seasonal stage in Rome to take place from October 9 to 11 at the Ippodromo Militare ‘Pietro Giannattasio’. The event featured 16 competitions with a prize pool of 700,000 euros and expected participation from over 100 riders representing 35 nations.

On the first day of the tournament, rain caused disruptions to the schedule, leading to the postponement of the Global Champions League to the following day. While some 2-star competitions continued, the only 5-star event to reach completion was the 1.60m individual competition. American rider Kristen Vanderveen won that event, followed by Riccardo Pisani and Harry Allen. The results determined the top 10 qualifiers for the upcoming LGCT Grand Prix.
