This Week at Polo

Heritage Cup



The Heritage Cup celebrates polo’s enduring traditions, where the spirit of horses and hounds meets stories of legacy, family, and sport passed down through generations. Player profiles in this matchup shine a light on multi-generational horsemen and women who carry forward the passion of their families, underscoring polo’s role as both a sport and a shared heritage. It’s a moment where history, community, and competition converge in one of the season’s most anticipated matches.

This year’s Heritage Cup also marks the first polo sponsorship for Kinsella Building Co., a luxury custom home builder renowned for 22 years of master craftsmanship, historic restorations, and generational homes built to last. Their debut partnership beautifully reflects the tournament’s theme of heritage, with Kinsella’s dedication to preserving quality and tradition echoed in the artistry of polo itself. Together, the match and its sponsor honor the timeless pursuit of excellence—on and off the field.
