History

Equestrian events in Falsterbo started in the 1920s. In 1969, the first Swedish derby in show jumping, which later became the Falsterbo Horse Show, was organised in Falsterbo by the equestrian club Malmö Civila Ryttarförening. In 1986, an took over the organisation of the event.

In 2010, the Falsterbo Horse Show became an event of the World Dressage Masters. Until 2023, the Falsterbo Horse Show was part of the FEI Nations Cup.

In February 2025, the Emirati-owned stable Al Shira'aa, run by Sheikha Fatima bint Hazza bin Zayed Al Nahyan, bought the sponsoring rights for the event for a six-year period. The following month, the agreement was cancelled due to criticism. According to Sveriges Television, the sponsoring was an example of sportwashing.
