The Polo Rider Cup represents a new concept in the sport. The original idea was to bring clubs from Europe together, but it morphed into an international competition, welcoming clubs from Asia and America, among others. It is now a world championship for polo clubs, showcasing the sport on an international level, and has the support of the Federation International of Polo (FIP)
