Copa de las Naciones

Tournament History

The governing board of the Argentine Polo Association formed the tournament driven by the firm idea of promoting polo competition between all nationalities. In April of 2009, Argentina, Brazil, England and a team comprised of multiple other countries competed for the inaugural title. Argentina won the inaugural Copa de las Naciones and has since added an additional five wins to their record. Despite Argentina's dominance in Copa de las Naciones competition, England claimed the title in 2014 and Chile won in 2016. Over the years, the tournament has shown incredible growth broadening to include women’s, juniors and senior’s divisions. This year, North America, Argentina and Columbia will field teams to compete for the opportunity to take home the Nations Cup.
