HERITAGE CUP™

TOURNAMENT HISTORY

Founded in 1986, the Heritage Cup has been held at many venues across the country including New Bridge Polo & Country Club in Aiken, South Carolina, and Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club in Carpinteria, California. In 2017, the tournament moved to Port Mayaca Polo Club (PMPC) in Okeechobee, Florida, where it remains today. Since establishing its home at PMPC, recent Heritage Cup titleholders include Hillcroft (2017, 2024), Skaneateles (2019), BTA (2021, 2022) and BTA/San Saba (2023).

In 2024, Hillcroft (James Miller, Ignacio "Nachi" Viana, Facundo Frayssinet, Tommy Collingwood) faced-off against SD Farms (Finn Secunda, Sayyu Dantata Jr., Facundo Obregon, Cesar "Peco" Polledo). Requiring overtime for a second consecutive year to settle the final score, Viana ultimately knocked-in the golden goal, sealing Hillcroft's 12-11 triumph and first Heritage Cup title since 2017.

This year's edition of the Heritage Cup will feature a head-to-head showdown between San Saba and ConcordEquityGroup.com at the National Polo Center - Wellington on U.S. Polo Assn. Field One. Representing Team USPA is Active Member Lucas Escobar and Graduating Member Nicolas "Nico" Escobar (ConcordEquityGroup.com) alongside alumnus Steve Krueger (San Saba).

HOST CLUB

Situated in South Florida, surrounded by vast sugar cane fields and the popular fishing body of Lake Okeechobee, Port Mayaca Polo Club (PMPC) has steadily become a destination for winter polo. Located on more than 600 sprawling acres, the club has eight regulation fields, club barns with 220 stalls, an exercise track, a stick-and-ball field, a clubhouse and several acres of pastures for turnout and trail riding.

While consistent, quality polo is at the forefront of the club’s objectives, a tight-knit sense of community supports it. The club hosts a lunch or cookout after every club practice. A beautiful pavilion style clubhouse provides an enjoyable gathering place for players to congregate and discuss their latest game.

THE VENUE

The Association’s premier event, the Gauntlet of Polo, takes place from February to April each winter season showcasing the world’s preeminent teams, professional athletes and finest horses which come together for three months to battle head-to-head for the coveted C.V. Whitney Cup, USPA Gold Cup and U.S. Open Polo Championship trophies. Throughout the year, the facilities are also used to showcase USPA Member Clubs and prestigious tournament competitions including the anticipated finals of the National President's Cup and NPC 16-Goal Championship.

The entrance to the club is via a palm tree-lined drive, that leads past tennis courts to the steps of the magnificent pool and Mallet Grille. The natural Florida terrain is augmented by a large lake, lush tropical landscaping and some of the most carefully manicured polo fields in the world. Spectating from the stadium, private boxes, fieldside tailgates and special hospitality tents, all overlooking the U.S. Polo Assn. Field One, is an unparalleled experience.

NPC invites you to experience the best polo in the country, taking place at one of the most beautiful venues in the world, the National Polo Center – Wellington.
