Cartier International Day, in association with the Hurlingham Polo Association, is the most anticipated day in the UK’s polo calendar.

This year marks the centaury of the Coronation Cup, the finest English players defeated the might of an impressive, 29-goal Brazilian team. HRH Prince Philip, a true fan of the sport having won the highly sought after Gold Cup trophy (note one) in 1969, presented the prestigious trophy to Luke Tomlinson Captain of the Audi England team.

As a tradition Cartier International Day was held at the Smith lawn of the Great Windsor Park hosted by the Guards Polo club.

This year is also the last year of Cartier sponsorship on Coronation Cup after 27 years since it stared. Next year Cartier will sponsor the Queens Cup.
