Tournament History
The National President’s Cup has an illustrious 50-year history. Formally known as the Eight Goal Inter-Circuit, the tournament was first held in 1969 at the Brandywine Polo Club in Toughkenamon, Pennsylvania, with teams traveling from the Northeastern, Southeastern, Northwestern and Midstate circuits vying to win the coveted trophy. In 1974, the Eight Goal Inter-Circuit was renamed the National President’s Cup and has been played at USPA Member Clubs nationwide.
Uniting some of the most talented 8-goal teams in the nation, the National President's Cup will proudly make its debut at the National Polo Center - Wellington (NPC) in Wellington, Florida, with the final slated for Sunday, April 21, on BTG Pactual Field 2. Under a new format, Regional President’s Cup tournaments now serve as qualifying tournaments for the National President's Cup, to encourage participation at the 4- to 8-goal level and restore the relationship between the two trophies.
Fielding Regional President's Cup champions nationwide, Amaro (Northeastern Circuit), Riverview (Midstates Circuit), Royal Bank Canada (Eastern Circuit) and Traveller's Rest (Southwestern Circuit) will join the four winners of the Florida Circuit—Audi, ConcordEquityGroup.com, Fross & Fross and Port Mayaca Polo in contention for the National President's Cup.
