US Claims Aga Khan Trophy Again | Dublin News

The U.S. clinched the Aga Khan Trophy for the ninth time ever, narrowly edging out Ireland in a nail-biting team equestrian showdown at the 100-year anniversary Nations’ Cup. Ireland led after round one with flawless performances from Daniel and Jordan Coyle, but the Americans pulled ahead in the final stretch — a bittersweet loss for Ireland’s Jessica Kurten-led squad, especially as veteran Cian O’Connor made his 20th appearance. Switzerland, Germany, and Great Britain followed in third through fifth, while France, Netherlands, and Belgium rounded out the standings. The trophy, now in its sixth iteration, is only kept by teams winning three straight — Ireland last claimed it in 2022.
