CENTRAL CIRCUIT CONSTITUTION CUP CHICAGO INVITATIONAL
TOURNAMENT HISTORY
Chicago’s polo history dates back to 1879 when the first recorded match was played in Lincoln Park in downtown Chicago. Over the next 140 years, the sport of kings prospered in and around Chicagoland with as many as 50 polo clubs hosting competitive professional and amateur polo. Chicago was also home to a number of notable and historic polo events, including 22 U.S. Open Polo Championships® from 1954 to 1979 at the Oak Brook Polo Club.
Chicago's polo continues to thrive with its newest addition, Las Brisas Farm and Polo Club in Elgin, Illinois, which will host the inaugural Central Circuit Constitution Cup Chicago Invitational. The tournament will feature four teams, including G-Squared, Oak Brook Polo, Passion for Polo (PFP) and Las Brisas.
As the country emerges out of the COVID-19 crisis, the USPA established opportunities to support USPA Member Club events through the use of the COVID-19 USPA Polo Tournament Stimulus Package, which provides eligible USPA Member Clubs with waived tournament fees, trophies or reimbursements, one professional umpire and $2,500 in prize money per tournament at no extra cost. Offered to each club for the first two USPA tournaments of 2020 following the COVID-19 USPA Tournaments and Events suspension, Las Brisas Farm and Polo Club will be taking advantage of the program for this tournament.
