1995 Gothenburg, Sweden

• The International Equestrian Federation had reduced the Canadian League's quota to three riders per final.
• The three representatives were Mario Deslauriers, Eric Lamaze and Jay Hayes. Lamaze was making his World Cup debut. Deslauriers rode Amistad to 14th; Lamaze rode Cagney to 18th and Hayes rode Raven to 30th place. 

• Jos Lansink became the first, and still only, Dutch World Cup winner and did so on home turf
• Michael Whitaker rode a horse purchased in Canada to third place. Midnight Madness had been ridden by Canadian Gilles Casavant under the name Buriso.
• Canada had only two representatives. For the second consecutive year jay Hayes and Raven had a top-twenty finish to be the best-placed Canadian. They finished 18th while Mario Deslauriers on Alemao finished 29th.

• After fourteen years of the show jumping World Cup, show jumping powerhouse Germany produced their first winner
• It would be the beginning of long-running German success in the World Cup, as they have put a rider in the top-three in almost every World Cup Final since, including five more wins
• Second-place finisher was less than one knockdown away from his third World Cup victory
• After complete American domination for the first decade of the show jumping World Cup, in this Final Michael Matz would be the last American to finish in the top-3 until 2008
• Like in 1992, Canada had an extra representative as Dale Harvey again qualified in the U.S. West League.  Jay Hayes rode Raven to 15th place, followed by Mario Deslauriers on Alemao 22nd; Harold Chopping on Pan Am B 24th; Dale Harvey on Amistad 31st; and Ian Millar on Future Vision 37th.

• Canada had five riders in the World Cup Final this year. In addition to the four who qualified in the Canadian League, Dale Harvey, a Canadian citizen residing in California qualified as an "extra" Canadian by earning points in the U.S. West Coast League.  Harvey was the best-placed Canadian, riding Amistad to 25th place. Beth Underhill on Monopoly were close behind in 26th; Jill Henselwood on Canadian Colours 36th; Ian Millar on Big Ben 40th; and John Pearce on Super Trooper 43rd.

• John Whitaker made Ian Millar's record of two consecutive World Cup wins on the same horse short-lived. Whitaker repeated Millar's and Big Ben's feat on a horse that had been one of Big Ben's greatest rivals throughout his career.
• Legendary Brazilian rider Nelson Pessoa, at age 55, would finish runner-up for the second time in his career. Second-place would remain his best World Cup placing ever. His first second-place came behind Canada's Mario Deslauriers in 1984.  
• Ian Millar and Czar led the Canadians again, managing a 15th place finish, followed by Beth Underhill on Monopoly 23rd; Gilles Casavant on Kool King in a tie for 39th; and Harold Chopping on Aerobic 44th 

1989 Tampa, U.S.A.

• Ian Millar and Big Ben set a new World Cup record by becoming the first rider to successfully defend the title and the first rider/horse combination to win the title twice
• Millar's historic win came in what was then the largest field ever to contest a World Cup Final and remains the second-largest field of starters in World Cup history
• This was Canada's third World Cup title in six years
• This was tenth consecutive North American win in the show jumping World Cup (all but one held to date), but would mark the end of the North American domination
• John Whitaker and Milton finished second and, although it was not known at the time, they were building up to repeat Millar's record in the next two World Cup Finals
• Overshadowed by Millar's record-setting win, Canada's Lisa Carlsen on Kahlua had an impressive 8th place finish. Mario Deslauriers rode Asterix and Box Car Willie to 15th; Jay Hayes and Zucarlos ended in 40th place and Laura Tidball Balisky on Lavendel 48 in 41st place.  

• Ian Millar and Big Ben added the first victory to the three consecutive top-8 finishes they had logged in the last three years, including a second-place in 1986
• Pierre Durand finished second and would go on to win the Olympic individual gold medal in Seoul five months later 
• Canada's Laura Tidball Balisky on Lavendel 48; Hugh Graham on Wellington; and Linda Southern on Cardinal rode to 11th, 34th and 44th places.

• Two women finished in the top-three, both American
• The four Canadians were Ian Millar on Big Ben; Laura Tidball Balisky on Lavendel 48; Mario Deslauriers on Box Car Willie; and Kim Kirton on Lorbas. They finished 5th, 29th, 32nd and 39th, respectively.

• North American riders took the three top placings
• The defending champion, already a two-time winner on two different horses, finished third this time on another horse
• Other than Ian Millar's second-place, Canadians John Anderson on Goby; Gail Greenough on Mr. T; and Hugh Graham lined up alomost equally in 19th, 21st and 23rd place.

• This World Cup Final produced the first two-time winner, to date, but not consecutive wins and not on the same horse
• Homfeld had first won the World Cup in 1980 on Balbuco
• The number of riders admitted from the Canadian League was increased to four.  Ian Millar on Big Ben finished 8th, starting a string of top-8 World Cup finishes. Hugh Graham excercised the rule to switch horses after the first leg of competition, riding Don't Look Back, then switching to Elrond, for a 21st place finish overall. Defending Champions Mario Deslauriers and Aramis finished 23rd, and Laura Tidball Balisky on Lavendel 48 were 33rd. 

• 19-year-old Mario Deslauriers won Canada's first-ever World Cup title and became the youngest-ever winner of the title. His record as the youngest-ever still stands today
• The defending champion, Norman Dello Joio, tied for second, giving him his third top-3 finish in the five World Cup Finals held, to date
• A Canadian qualifying League was formed in 1983 to qualify for the 1984 World Cup Final. Initially, the top-three Canadian qualifiers were admitted to the Final. Therefore, the Canadian win was even more remarkable, as it was the first time Canadian riders were guaranteed spots in the World Cup Final.
• Hugh Graham on Elrond and Ian Millar on Wotan were the other two Canadian representatives, finishing 16th and 18th, respectively

• The winner of the first-ever World Cup Final, Hugo Simon and Gladstone, moved up to second after two consecutive thirds since their win. That gave them four top-3 placings in five years.
• Defending champion, Melanie Smith finished third, giving her top-three placing in four out of the last five World Cup Finals, all on Calypso. Former winners finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th. (1980 winner Conrad Homfeld was 4th.)
• Canada was not represented.
