Event Information

This year, the Harriman Cup celebrates a quarter century of polo tradition between UVA and Yale. The day-long event commemorates the life of diplomat, sportsman and former New York Governor Averell Harriman, and brings together alumni, their families, friends, and Tri-State area residents. For our 25th Anniversary, we’re proud to host The Harriman Cup at The Meadowbrook Polo Club, the oldest polo club in the United States, and we’ve compiled an international group of players hailing from England, Malaysia, Florida, Connecticut and New York.
