The International Polo Cup, also called the Newport Cup and the Westchester Cup, is a trophy in polo that was created in 1886 and is played for by teams from the United States and England.
The history of the cup dates to 1886. The cup was purchased by a subscription and presented to the Westchester Polo Club, from which its original name originates, in 1886. It was won in 1886 and 1902 by English teams from the Hurlingham Club.
In 1909, Americans Monte Waterbury, Lawrence Waterbury, Harry Payne Whitney and Devereux Milburn formed a team, dubbed the Big Four, that won the cup. The same team was successful in 1911 and 1913, but lost the cup to England in 1914.
