Overview The United States Polo Association is the governing body of polo in the United States and owns the National Polo Center in Wellington, Florida. This series joins three high-goal championships, from late winter in Florida to late summer in California and Connecticut. The U.S. Open Polo Championship closes the winter Gauntlet of Polo at Wellington. The Silver Cup is played each summer at Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club and carries the oldest American polo trophy. The East Coast Open is a 20-goal championship at Greenwich Polo Club in Connecticut. On site At Wellington, featured matches are played on U.S. Polo Assn. Field One. Guests watch from the grandstand, VIP boxes, fieldside tailgate tents and the Pavilion, where Sunday brunch is served on a canopied veranda with a caviar and blini board. Finals end with the trophy presentation, MVP and Best Playing Pony awards, and a donation to a charity picked by each finalist. Santa Barbara Sundays open with a pony parade and a live anthem, and guests book fieldside cabanas and tent lounges facing the mountains. Greenwich spectators sit in pavilion boxes and along the fieldside lawn. Audience Sunday crowds at Greenwich come out from New York City and from Fairfield and Westchester counties. For the big Santa Barbara finals the stands fill with fascinators, white hats and sport coats. At every club, spectators leave their seats at halftime to stomp divots back into the field.
