The Queen's Polo Cup is proud to announce its launch in Charlotte, North Carolina, bringing one of the world's most exciting and elegant sports to the Queen City. Planned as an annual event each April, the Queen's Polo Cup aims to celebrate polo, community, and philanthropy—offering Charlotte a first-of-its-kind experience.

The inaugural event is supported by the historic Aiken Polo Club and will feature committed polo clubs, talented players, and the growing base of polo enthusiasts who call Charlotte home. The Queen's Polo Cup will also incorporate a strong charitable component, partnering with local and national sponsors to ensure the event gives back to the community.

"Charlotte is a city filled with people who fly out for polo, grew up around horses, or simply want to experience the sport for the first time," said Blake Van Leer, Founding Member of the Queen's Polo Cup. "Through our market survey and conversations with peers, it became clear there's a strong interest in making polo accessible here. It just made sense to bring the sport we love to our own community."

More details about the inaugural Queen's Polo Cup—including match schedules, charity partners, and ticket information—will be released in the coming months.
