The National President’s Cup is moving to the National Polo Center – Wellington (NPC) in 2024! Apply today to host a Regional President’s Cup and qualify a team from your club to participate.
Regional President’s Cup tournaments held nationwide will serve as qualifying tournaments for the National President’s Cup and bring teams representing clubs around the country to the National Polo Center. The new format will encourage participation at the 4- to 8-goal level and restore the relationship between the two trophies.
Teams qualify to enter the National President’s Cup by winning a Regional President’s Cup. Any USPA Member Club may now apply to host a Regional President’s Cup. Regional President’s Cup events will be awarded to one Member Club in every circuit with the exception of the Florida Circuit, host of the National President’s Cup. Four Regional President’s Cup events will be awarded within the Florida Circuit. If you are interested in hosting a qualifying tournament, please review the Tournament Conditions below and complete an electronic application.
There will be no team entry fee for the National President’s Cup. Teams that win a Regional President’s Cup qualifier in a Circuit outside the Florida Circuit and travel to NPC to compete in the National President’s Cup will receive a $10,000 travel stipend. Each team’s stipend will be distributed evenly between the four rostered players on the qualifying team or to the designated Team Owner once at least two of the original rostered players arrive to compete in the National President’s Cup.
Applications may be entered though the tournament database, accessible by logging into the Club Delegate’s Member Portal at uspolo.org and selecting the tab titled “Tourn Data.” Please submit applications ASAP. Applications will be reviewed on a first come first served basis. Please contact USPA Tournament Manager, Kaila Dowd at kdowd@uspolo.org with any questions or concerns.
Effective Date: Saturday, May 16, 2020
The suspension of USPA Tournaments and Events will be lifted for USPA Member Clubs in locales where hosting polo matches and tournaments is permitted under applicable state and local laws, executive orders and similar decrees. The USPA Member Clubs in these locales are encouraged to follow all such requirements of their state and local authorities with respect to polo operations. In addition, we also encourage all USPA Member Clubs to take the precautions recommended by the CDC. We are preparing a detailed list of best practices for USPA Member Clubs as they return to hosting USPA Tournaments and Events and plan to circulate these guidelines within the next week. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and will notify you if we determine a different course of action is necessary.
