Beretta Gold Cup 2026: entries open for Eaton Hall in September

Entries are open for the Beretta Gold Cup, which returns to Eaton Hall from 16 to 20 September 2026 for five days of competition. Organiser GMK says the shoot will be bigger than ever, and has confirmed a prize list that sends two individual winners to Lonato in Italy in 2027, all expenses paid.

What the 2026 Beretta Gold Cup programme includes

The programme takes in English Sporting, the Beretta SPAuto, the Services Team Event and a Pool Shoot, drawing shooters from across the UK to the Derbyshire ground. The Services Team Event opens the week on 16 September, the Gold Cup sporting runs from 17 to 20 September and the SPAuto Championships are shot on 19 September.

Why the Lonato prize matters to British shooters

Two individual winners will earn an all-expenses-paid trip to Lonato in 2027 to compete in Italy, giving the competition an international dimension to match its standing at home. The rest of the prize list is equally substantial across the disciplines on the card.

The Gold Cup in Beretta’s 500th year

This year’s shoot forms part of the celebrations marking 500 years of Beretta, tying together the company’s heritage, its sporting tradition and its enthusiasm for competition.

Who is backing the 2026 Gold Cup

GMK is thankful to Eaton Hall for hosting, along with sponsors Sordin, YETI, Eley Hawk Cartridges, Holland & Holland and Shots & Company for their support.
