International Polo Cup

The International Polo Cup, also called the Newport Cup and the Westchester Cup, is a polo trophy created in 1886 and contested by teams from the United States and England. It was bought by subscription and presented to the Westchester Polo Club in 1886, which gave it its original name, and English teams from the Hurlingham Club won it in 1886 and 1902. In 1909 the Americans Monte Waterbury, Lawrence Waterbury, Harry Payne Whitney and Devereux Milburn formed a side known as the Big Four that won the cup, and the same team won again in 1911 and 1913 before England took it back in 1914. The series was played twelve times between 1886 and 1939, suspended during the Second World War and revived in 1992 as single games in place of the original best-of-three series. The most recent match, in March 2023 at the National Polo Center in Wellington, Florida, was won by England.
