PBR Global Cup
The PBR Global Cup was a bull riding team competition that was developed in 2017 by the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) organization and ran through 2022. It was intended to give the winning country the ability to say they had the best bull riders. Previously, there was a similar team event called the PBR World Cup that the PBR ran from 2007 to 2010, but this new event was not a continuation of the previous one. The PBR Global Cup consisted of teams from five countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
A different country held the team event each year as this was an annual event. The host country retained a competitive advantage. The best riders in each team were matched against the best riders from other teams. The contest was a series that continued until one country held all five pieces of the Global Cup, which included the horn and the native soil of each nation. Only one country could claim the "Toughest Nation on Dirt."
The PBR Global Cup was an annual event. Each team rode with a uniform that represented their respective country. The hosting country each year was granted an advantage. For the events in Edmonton and Sydney, that advantage was twice the number of competitors as the visiting teams. When the date for the first-ever edition of the event in the U.S. was announced, the PBR debuted a new format. In place of an increased roster, Team USA would field two teams, Eagles and Wolves. Making modern sports history, the Wolves team was announced to be composed exclusively of Native American bull riders.
At stake for the home team was their piece of the five-part Global Cup trophy which was a horn and their national soil. The home team had to win the event to successfully keep their trophy piece and native soil. Otherwise, the visiting team who won the event was awarded these items. The competition continued until one nation captured all five horns for the trophy−including the native soil−of each country. That country laid claim to the title, "The Toughest Nation on Dirt."
The trophy was composed of five individual bull horns that represented each country. Taken as a whole, the trophy represented the collective spirit of this worldwide competition. Each country's bull horn piece of the trophy also included a vessel that held its native soil. At each event's opening ceremonies, was a presentation where all shared in viewing the host's riders depositing their dirt into their trophy piece. Following the presentation, the battle for the horn piece commenced. Each team protected their native soil as a matter of pride and honor for their country.
The event was a two-day international competition which featured 14 riders from the host country against seven riders from each of the visiting countries. The home country was intentionally given a home town advantage with twice as many bull riders. Each team also had head coaches and assistant coaches.
Competitors earned money based on their team's performance. First place split $400,000 among themselves while the last place team earned $42,000. The individual rider who scored the most points combining his multiple rides received a bonus, while the rider with the highest-scored individual ride also received a bonus.
The competition format for the inaugural PBR Global Cup was very different from a traditional bull riding event. There were two days of competition. Each team attempted to score up to 14 qualified rides. The winning team was decided by the highest combined score. Coaches made all the riding decisions. The winning team was determined by points. Each qualified ride was judged up to 100 points. The total of all qualified ride points was combined for the total points earned. The team with the highest number of points became the winner, in this case, Team USA had the most points with 1,026.75 points. Team USA's riders rode 12 bulls out of 18 total outs (trips out of the bucking chute) and had one disqualification for a bulls ridden ratio of 12-18-1 (qualified rides-outs-disqualified). For first place they earned the top prize money of $400,000 and, of course, the Canadian horn piece of the Global Cup Trophy.
