The Gold Cup Legacy: Garrard's Enduring Connection to Royal Ascot

As the Official Trophies and Silverware Supplier to Royal Ascot, a distinction rooted in our creation of the first Royal Ascot Gold Cup in 1842, Garrard's connection to Ascot is legendary.

Making The 2026 Gold Cup

As Official Trophies and Silverware Supplier of Royal Ascot, Garrard is commissioned each year to specially hand-craft an original Gold Cup, Royal Hunt Cup, and Queen’s Vase.

The oldest and most prestigious race at Royal Ascot, the Gold Cup is a marathon ride of two-and-a-half miles to test the stamina of the finest staying horses across Europe. ​Honouring His Majesty, King Charles III lifelong commitment to sustainability, AgAIN Silver has been used in the creation of each of the Royal Ascot trophies since 2023.

An Unrivalled Trophy Heritage

Garrard’s artistry has been called to mark the pinnacles of achievement in sporting excellence across horse racing, golf, cricket, and more. From the America’s Cup, the world’s oldest perpetual international sporting trophy, pre-dating the modern Olympic Games, to the The British Masters Trophy. Our pivotal role in the tradition of the victory trophy is that of legend.
