U.S. Polo Assn. Outfits Teams For 2024 Collegiate Polo Championship, Airing On ESPN

The United States Polo Association (USPA), through its official brand U.S. Polo Assn., played a pivotal role in the 2024 Division I Women's and Men's National Intercollegiate Championship Finals, not only by sponsoring but also outfitting the participating teams. In a display of skill and sportsmanship, the University of Virginia clinched the Women's Championship title against Texas A&M University, while the University of North Texas secured victory in the Men's Championship against Southern Methodist University. Fans of collegiate polo can look forward to reliving these moments as both finals are scheduled to be broadcast on ESPNU on April 21.

Throughout the 2024 Collegiate Polo Season, U.S. Polo Assn. extended its support to 52 collegiate polo teams, underscoring its commitment to nurturing the sport among young athletes. The season saw thirteen teams, including prestigious institutions like the University of Virginia, Texas A&M University, and Southern Methodist University, qualify for the Division I National Intercollegiate Championships. This year's championships were hosted at the Virginia Polo Center, marking another chapter in the enduring partnership between U.S. Polo Assn. and ESPN.

The Collegiate Partnership Program (CPP) is another initiative by U.S. Polo Assn. aimed at fostering collegiate polo. This program invites colleges and universities with USPA-sanctioned polo teams to participate for one academic year, embracing a wide array of teams from across the nation, including private, public, Ivy League, and Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCUs).

With an eye on the future, the USPA is keen on expanding polo's horizons through the 2024 Intercollegiate/Interscholastic (I/I) Program. This ambition was further realized with the hosting of Division II Finals, where Colorado State University won in the Women's Division and Cornell University triumphed in the Men's Division.

The USPA and U.S. Polo Assn. have extended their congratulations to all teams that participated in both Division I and Division II National Intercollegiate Championships, celebrating their dedication and spirit.

Founded in 1890, U.S. Polo Assn. is not just a brand; it represents a rich history of polo in the United States. Offering a wide range of apparel, accessories, and footwear for men, women, and children, it has established a significant global footprint across over 190 countries through retail stores. This global presence is bolstered by a multi-year broadcasting deal with ESPN, ensuring that the thrill of polo championships reaches enthusiasts worldwide.
