IRELAND’S eventing team has secured a historic silver medal at the 2025 FEI European Eventing Championships, marking their first podium finish at the event in 30 years. The result signals a return to top-tier form for Ireland, whose last European Championship team medal came in 1995, when they claimed bronze in Pratoni del Vivaro, Italy. The silver in Blenheim is also Ireland’s best result at the event since winning gold in 1979. Germany secured the gold convincingly with a score of 124.9, led by Michael Jung, who also took individual silver. Ireland’s silver medal ends a 30-year wait for European eventing honours, bridging the gap since their last team success in 1995.
