English and French are the official languages of the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), the international governing body of the sport, and the concise and descriptive French term for this competition is Concours Complet d'Equitation or, complete equestrian competition. The use of acronyms is universal today, and throughout the world an international Three-Day Event is known as a CCI (concours complet internationale). To indicate the level of difficulty, the FEI uses asterisks or "stars" on a scale of one to four stars. The four star CCI is the highest level of competition in the sport.

The four star designation is reserved for the quadrennial World Championships and Olympic Games, and the annual Badminton and Burghley Three-Day Events in England, the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event and Adelaide in Australia.
