REGIONAL PRESIDENT'S CUP

TOURNAMENT HISTORY

Established in 1998, the Regional President’s Cup encourages participation at the 4- to 8-goal level, while restoring the relationship between Regional and National President's Cup trophies. Reformatted in 2024, regional events held nationwide serve as qualifying tournaments for the National President’s Cup. Hosted by the National Polo Center - Wellington in Wellington, Florida, the National President's Cup brings together teams from clubs across the country for a chance to compete at NPC.

Teams qualify to enter the National President’s Cup by winning a Regional President’s Cup. Any USPA Member Club can apply to host a Regional President’s Cup, however qualifying events are awarded to only one Member Club in every circuit. The Florida Circuit, host of the National President’s Cup, is the only exception, with multiple Regional President’s Cup events awarded. June marked the start of the competition. The first event was held in the Midstates Circuit and Riverview secured the first spot National President's Cup.

There is no team entry fee for the National President’s Cup and teams that qualify in a circuit outside the Florida Circuit receive a $10,000 travel stipend.

In 2023, Amaro (Kris Kampsen, Antonio Aguerre, Scott Sorbaro, Esteban Matuz Hernandez) went head-to-head against Caledon (Darien Huang, Will Kayat, Felipe "Pipe" Miguens Casado, Esteban Panelo). Awarded .5 on handicap at the onset of the game, Amaro's early penalty success gave them the lead throughout the first half. Despite, strong performances from Caledon's Casado and Esteban, Amaro edged past their opponents for an 8.5-8 victory.

This year’s Northeastern Circuit Regional President’s Cup returns to NYC Polo Club in Patterson, New York. The event will also serve as the second qualifier for the 2025 National President’s Cup. Reigning champions Amaro will return to defend their title under the new moniker Amaro/Jefferies and will be joined by GTFO, NYC Polo and Roxbury Raiders each battling for the opportunity to earn a coveted spot in the National President's Cup.

Ideal for summer stabling and built on a historic cattle farm, NYC Polo Club at Haviland Hollow Farm in Patterson, New York, has made polo a year-round reality for those in the Northeastern Circuit. Conveniently located one hour north of New York City, the club’s central location is optimal for city commuters and a reasonable distance from nearby Greenwich Polo Club (Greenwich, Connecticut) and Mashomack Polo Club (Pine Plains, New York).

Focusing on adult leagues both outdoor and in the arena, NYC Polo Club is a true player’s club, introducing new players to the sport and developing those who want to advance. Offering the advantage of consistency in the saddle, NYC Polo Club enables its members to play eight months of the year rain or shine.

Helping many new players interested in learning the game get their start, NYC Polo Club specializes in taking beginners and dedicated players to the next level by concentrating on horsemanship and training. NYC Polo School’s active lesson program is run by head instructor Paul Kuhn, who brings over three decades of experience teaching, coaching and playing polo across the United States, Zimbabwe, Australia and New Zealand. Together with his son David Kuhn, the father-son duo run the lesson program year-round with an emphasis on safety, and allow their students to build confidence in the arena before progressing to instructional chukkers and the coaching league.

Offering a variety of polo in a picturesque and family-friendly atmosphere, NYC Polo Club’s state of the art facilities can be enjoyed by the rising amateur, the professional and the casual spectator alike.
