SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH, 2020
Oak Brook Polo ends its 98th Season with the prestigious Butler International Cup presented by Merrill Lynch. This famous trophy was first played in 1986 between Oak Brook and HRH Prince Charles’s Wales Polo Team in front of a crowd of more than 20,000 people. The trophy was re-established in 2015 and has since hosted teams from India, Jamaica and recently the Wales Polo Team the last three seasons.
In 2020, the Butler International Cup has transformed into a 12-Goal USPA Nationally Sanctioned international tournament. Four teams from the USA, Switzerland, Germany and Argentina will be represented to play in this prestigious tournament with preliminary matches taking place at neighboring polo clubs (Oak Brook on Sunday, September 20th) and the Consolation and/or Championship matches being played at Oak Brook on Sunday, September 27th.
