PBR World Cup

The PBR World Cup is a team competition in which professional bull riders from 5 countries compete for their share of a $100,000 prize. Each team fields 5 riders from their respective countries, each with their own team captain (who can either be a current or a former rider).

The twenty-five riders compete in four rounds, two rounds each night, with all the contestants riding in each round, which means fans see 50 rides per night. The team captain can only select three scores for each round. Once all four rounds are complete, the team with the highest total score will be declared the winner.

The first World Cup, held in 2007, took place at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

The second World Cup was held in 2008 at the Manuel Bernardo Aguirre Gymnasium in Chihuahua, Mexico.

The third World Cup was held in 2009 at the Parque do Peão in Barretos, Brazil.

The fourth World Cup took place in the spring of 2010 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada (USA).
