Dublin Horse Show

Since it was first held in 1864, the Dublin Horse Show has become an institution. This exciting multi-day festival is a celebration of Ireland's affinity with the horse, as well as an enormously fun social event. With a range of events happening over five days, including showing classes, performances, classes and both national and international showjumping, it’s the place to be in August.

Ireland’s love affair with all things equine is at the heart of the Dublin Horse Show held in the city’s RDS Arena. Of course, what goes on around the events is often said to be just as much fun, with delicious food, high fashion on Ladies' Day and excellent entertainment.

For over 150 years, competitors and spectators have descended on Dublin to experience edge-of-your-seat thrills at this annual summer event, and audiences are guaranteed heart stopping moments when they watch show-jumping competitions and the spectacle of the Nations' Cup Competition – when the Aga Khan Trophy is awarded to its worthy champion.
