Rule the World (foaled 30 March 2007) is a British-bred, Irish-trained Thoroughbred racehorse who won the Grand National as a novice in 2016. He showed good form as a staying hurdler, winning the Slaney Novice Hurdle in 2013 and the Limestone Lad Hurdle in 2014 before being stepped up to compete in steeplechases. In his first season over fences he failed to win in eight attempts but finished second in five races including the Irish Grand National. In the 2015/16 season he recorded two seconds and a third in his first five races before posting his first steeplechase win in the Grand National on 9 April 2016.

Rule The World is a bay gelding, bred in the United Kingdom by Mrs P. G. Wilkins and R. J. McAlpine. He was sired by Sulamani, a top-class international turf horse whose wins included the Prix du Jockey Club, Dubai Sheema Classic, Arlington Million, Juddmonte International Stakes and Canadian International Stakes. The best of his progeny to date has been Mastery who won the St Leger and the Hong Kong Vase. Rule The World's dam Elaine Tully showed useful form as a racemare, winning three times on the flat and four times over hurdles. She was a great-granddaughter of the broodmare Helvetie, whose other descendants have included the Epsom Derby winner Erhaab.
