Tournament History

The USPA Gold Cup is the second 22-goal tournament of the Florida high-goal season and the second leg in the Gauntlet of Polo presented by TruBar. Established in 1974, the USPA Gold Cup has been hosted at seven venues in five different states and has included many of the world's elite players and teams vying for the prestigious title.

Notable contemporary winners to take home the title more than once include Valiente (2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018), Audi (2011, 2015), Crab Orchard (2007, 2010) and Scone (2021, 2023). White Birch holds the all-time record wins with 12 titles spanning three decades. Back-to-back victories in the Gold Cup were last achieved in 2017 and 2018 by Valiente.

In 2024, a rematch between Valiente (Bob Jornayvaz, Mariano “Peke” Gonzalez Jr., Paco de Narvaez Jr., Adolfo Cambiaso) and La Dolfina (Jeff Hildebrand, Rufino Merlos, Poroto Cambiaso, Tomas Panelo) featured the two heavyweights meeting for a second consecutive bout at the National Polo Center - Wellington on U.S. Polo Assn. Field One. Confident and assertive from the first throw-in, La Dolfina established a lead and did not relinquish it. Their impressive display of determination clinched the renowned organization’s first title on American soil and $50,000 in prize money.
