Jill Carey, chief executive of Festina Lente, said: "The Dublin Horse Show gives us an amazing platform to showcase the power of equine-assisted therapy. And of course, our Shetland ponies in the family area are super popular with young families."
With Ireland just behind the USA at the end, Cian O'Connor rode clear round on Fancy De Kergane, leaving it up to the USA to beat the home team.
Before the competition began in the main arena, there was the parade of champions featuring champion hunters, Connemara ponies, and Irish Draught mares and foals.
The trophy was presented to the winners by Dublin Lord Mayor James Geoghegan, marking the USA's eighth win in the prestigious competition.
