Open National Interscholastic Championship
Tournament History
The USPA Open National Interscholastic Championship tournament is part of the United States Polo Association's Intercollegiate/Interscholastic (I/I) polo program, which is dedicated to growing the sport by providing maximum exposure, recruiting collegiate and scholastic institutions, coordinating activities and organizing competition. Supporting this mission, the I/I program has experienced tremendous growth in recent years.
Six teams will descend upon Brookshire Polo Club in Brookshire, Texas, March 20-24 for the sixty-fourth playing of the Open National Interscholastic Championship; including four regional winners, one wild card (Houston A) and the two Western Regional Interscholastic Open finalists (Maui and Lakeside both qualified when the final was unable to be played due to rain). Established in 1928, the winners of the Open National Interscholastic Championship are awarded the George C. Sherman trophy. Defending Champions Maryland will once again be in the running to earn their third national championship in a row, having etched their name in 2018 with a final score 20-11 over Gardnertown.
