U.S. Open Polo Championship

The tournament was first played on September 20, 1904 at Van Cortlandt Park in The Bronx in New York City.

It resumed at Narragansett Pier, Rhode Island, where it was played for several years before relocating to what became its longtime home, Meadowbrook Polo Club in Old Westbury, New York.

In 1954, the U.S. Open moved to Oak Brook, Illinois, where it remained for 22 years, followed by an eight-year stint at Retama in San Antonio, Texas.

Originally there were no team handicap limits for the U.S. Open, but limits were eventually put in place by the United States Polo Association in the post-WWII era (thereby ending the true "Open" status of the tournament).

The U.S. Open Polo Championship trophy was designed by artist Sally James Farnham.

Only 5 times in history has an identically formed team won the U.S. Open two years in row.
