Dublin Horse Show – RDS, Merrion Road, Ballsbridge
About the event

Five days at the RDS on Merrion Road, 4 to 8 August 2027. The week runs on two tracks at once: showing classes, from Connemara stallion parades to pony and horse classes, alongside national and international show jumping where every national class has to be qualified for. The two set pieces are the Rolex Grand Prix and the Nations' Cup of Ireland.

Five days at the RDS in Ballsbridge, 4 to 8 August 2027, and it is two events in one: showing classes, from Connemara stallion parades to pony and horse classes, run alongside national and international show jumping. The two set pieces are the Rolex Grand Prix and the Nations' Cup of Ireland.

Not published as of 2026-10-20. The show runs 4 to 8 August 2027 at the RDS, but the site carries no enclosure list and no dress code, so what to wear where cannot be stated. The ticketing pages are where that normally appears.

Not published as of 2026-10-20. No enclosure options or prices are given for 2027. What the site does settle is the shape of the week: national show jumping requires qualification for every class, so the international days and the Rolex Grand Prix carry the strongest fields.
