The Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final – Geneva’s Most Exclusive Night in Show Jumping
Show jumping has many legendary arenas, but Geneva always stands apart. The Rolex IJRC Top 10 Final is one of the most exclusive nights in our sport, where only the Top 10 riders in the world are allowed to compete. No invitation. No wildcard. Just pure world ranking.
Every December, CHI Geneva becomes the stage where champions are made. It has one of the largest indoor arenas in the sport, a historic atmosphere, and a course known for precision and pressure.
Riders often describe this night as “a world championship with only the best.”
Top 10 Riders – Final 2025
- Kent Farrington (USA)
- Scott Brash (GBR)
- Ben Maher (GBR)
- Christian Kukuk (GER)
- Gilles Thomas (BEL)
- Richard Vogel (GER)
- Harrie Smolders (NED)
- Daniel Coyle (IRL)
- Julien Epaillard (FRA)

The final is usually decided in two intense rounds, where the combined faults and time crown the champion. The fences are big, the lines are technical, and one small mistake can change everything. Winning the Top 10 Final is one of the most respected titles in show jumping.
This year in Geneva, the world will watch the finest riders test each other at the highest level.
My coverage of the event, behind-the-scenes moments, course analysis, and interviews will soon be published here.
