We are delighted to announce that Connolly’s RED MILLS will be the presenting sponsor of the FEI Eventing World Championship U25 2026, marking a significant milestone for both organisations and for Irish eventing on the global stage.

The official title of the championship will be: FEI Eventing World Championship U25 2026 presented by Connolly’s RED MILLS.

The championship will take place from July 23-26 at the Duggan family’s renowned Green Glens Arena in Millstreet, welcoming the world’s leading under-25 event riders and horses to Ireland for a week of elite international competition.

Athletes will contest the three disciplines of dressage, cross-country, and show jumping, with both team and individual medals at stake. Each nation will be represented by teams of up to four athletes, alongside individual competitors.

Teams are expected from as far afield as the USA and Australia, as well as Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands and, of course, the home nation, Ireland. Irish riders Godfrey Gibbons and Ben Connors are currently ranked 8th and 12th respectively on the new FEI Eventing U25 World Rankings.
