        A MESSAGE FROM THE 2009 CHAIRMAN

I am proud to Chair the America’s Polo Cup this year into 2009.  These are very exciting times for the sport of Polo, and the world will soon see this magnificent sport return to the Olympic Games, with the thanks to great experiences like The America's Polo Cup and exposure with Television on a National level.    

The America's Polo Cup has succesfully opened this sport to a new audience world wide.  My goal is to grow the sport of polo in the Washington DC region further with the America's Polo Cup sporting event.  I will deliver to you a spectacular polo experience unlike any other in the World, to our great Capitol Region.  While this event is a national signature sporting event, it is also recognized as the premier polo sporting event in the country and the region.  I am committed to develop regional collaboration within our corporate community in Washington DC for more polo under the America's Polo Cup umbrella and in cooperation with the National Polo League of the United States.  I look forward to your corporate commitment or your personal involvement between now and May 9th, 2009.  Now is the time to partner with us.

A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDERS & PRESIDENT

The Land Rover America’s Polo Cup aspires to bring the love of the game to a wider audience, and bring international cultures together in a celebration of both their common bonds and their diversity. All in an event that benefits the Journey For The Cure Public Charity Foundation.  On May, 2009 the American Polo Team faces off with the Australian Polo Team, playing a game that is rich with tradition in an event that reaches far beyond the field.

To fully capture the spirit of America and Australia, the imagination and enthusiasm of their people, this cooperative effort combines the Embassy of Australia the Diplomatic Corps, the Commonwealth of Virginia and the Virginia Wine Travel & Tourism Offices. This special global program includes national and international festivities that showcase elements dear to both nations, including wine, sportsmanship, music, Adventure, Freedom & Democracy.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for your company to fly the flag for America and Australia, and enjoy the worldwide attention the event attracts. Throughout 2008 and 2009, the United States will resound with celebrations that mark the USA vs Australia Land Rover America’s Polo Cup World Championship!
