Action for the Iglehart Cup is non-stop, with several games played through Thursday February 26 and Friday March 6, at Patagones Polo Club, located in Wellington, Florida, United States. The tournament is the third and penultimate contest of the NPC 16-Goal Championship, and sees thirteen teams up to 16 goals, in participation. Teams are split in three leagues.
It’s worth to remember that the Iglehart Cup is the tournament that preceeds the Outback Cup, the closing competition of the series, prior to the big final of the NPC 16-Goal Championship, that will be played on Sunday April 12, at the National Polo Center (NPC).

The Iglehart Cup is named after Philip L.B. Iglehart, who started to play polo as a boy, at Aiken Preparatory School in South Carolina; later, at St. Paul’s School in New Hampshire; and finally at Yale University, in Connecticut. Although he reached a 7-goal handicap, he left polo to pursue a career in business, and after a 20-year hiatus returned to reclaim his old rating, which he held for 13 years. Some of Iglehart’s accomplishments include a US. Open in 1953, leadership at Meadowbrook Polo Club in Medford, New York, and the creation of Gulfstream Polo Club (Lake Worth, Florida, now defunct). Iglehart was inducted into the Museum of Polo and Hall of Fame in 1993; he is not only a Hall of Famer but bears one of the Hall of Fame’s highest honors in his name. The Philip Iglehart Award was established in 2001 to acknowledge exceptional lifetime contributions to the sport.
THE FINAL OF THE IGLEHART CUP WILL BE PLAYED ON SUNDAY MARCH 16.
