The Jumping International Team event consists of two rounds, Round 1 and Round 2. A total of six teams compete in the team event (one team per continent). A team consists of a maximum of five rider/horse combinations. A minimum of three rider/horse combinations are required for a team. All teams compete in both rounds. A draw establishes the start order of the teams. The order to go is made out with the riders placed in the positions decided by the chef d'équipe. In each round the team points are the sum of the penalty points incurred by the three riders with the lowest penalty points in the team. The starting order in Round 1 is established by a draw. The team results in Round 1 are used to set the start list for Round 2. The Team Event final ranking is based on the total number of team penalty points incurred in both rounds (three lowest penalty points out of five riders in each round).

The Jumping Individual event consists of two rounds, Round A and Round B. All riders/horses compete in both rounds. The starting order in Round A is established by a draw. The results in Round A are used to set the start list for Round B. The final ranking of riders is based on the total number of penalty points incurred in both rounds (lower penalty points=higher rank).

Horses will be allocated to competitors by a draw held after the horse inspection. The drawn rider/horse combination will remain the same for both the Individual and Team events. A separate draw for order to go will be held prior to the competition start.
