Veuve Clicquot Trophy Presentation Since 2016
To start the summer on an effervescent note, the weekend of June 14 at the Newport International Polo Series sparkles gold when the unmistakable golden glow of Veuve Clicquot Champagne sweeps across the polo grounds for a tenth summer, launching 2025 with the Veuve Clicquot Cup. As one of the most celebrated matches of the season, the iconic bubbly brand and its followers will raise a glass to capture the essence of Newport’s refined summer social calendar, combining the thrill of international polo with the sophistication and sparkle of champagne culture.
From when guests enter the polo grounds, the Veuve Clicquot presence is unmistakable, vibrant yellow accents scattered from fieldside décor to the Clicquot Terrasse. The air buzzes with excitement as spectators, dressed in elevated garden party fashion, arrive in radiant groups that echo the Veuve palette: sun-kissed golds, soft blushes, citrus tones, and refined whites. It’s an afternoon where the worlds of fashion and high-stakes competition collide under the summer sun.
On select dates in 2025, including this match, a party suite in the Foxwoods Cabana Club is transformed into the Clicquot Terrasse, a champagne lounge offering individual tickets to premium seating in an exclusive, signature setting! View and select all seating options here.
The Veuve Clicquot Cup is more than just a match but an immersive celebration. From luxury tailgating spreads to shaded parties in the cabanas, guests enjoy curated experiences at every level. The signature Veuve Clicquot champagne cart makes its rounds, pouring chilled flutes of brut, while food vendors offer elegant bites and indulgent treats. Halftime invites everyone onto the field as tradition meets festivity in one golden ritual.
On the field, polo teams compete for glory in a fast-paced, strategic battle that showcases the athleticism, precision, and pageantry of the sport. The players bring elite energy and high-level talent that keeps the crowd on the edge of their picnic blankets and Pavilion seats.
The day culminates with a glistening trophy presentation, where the victorious team is christened champion of the coveted Veuve Clicquot Cup beneath a cascade of cheers, applause, and the sparkle of raised glasses. Guests are invited to linger as the sun dips low, with music, mingling, and apres polo photo ops at Dillon’s Patio Bar extending the joy well into the evening.
Celebrating a legacy sponsor since 2016, Veuve Clicquot Champagne is the epitome of the Newport Polo season, where tradition and trend, sport and sparkle, elegance and excitement come together. It’s more than a polo match; it’s a radiant celebration of summer’s most golden moments.
