The trophy used for the event, known as the Perry Trophy, designed by Oscar L. Lanz, was first awarded in 1905 and retired by Myopia Polo Club in 1909. In 2005, the East Coast Open moved to the distinguished Greenwich Polo Club in Greenwich, Connecticut. Over the past 10 years, White Birch have dominated competition with nine wins; including a notable five-year streak from 2005-2009. Last year’s East Coast Open final match-up between Audi and White Birch resulted in a thrilling overtime for the second year in a row, White Birch recovering their esteemed title 12-11.
Home to the celebrated White Birch polo team, Greenwich Polo Club, in Greenwich, Connecticut, is identical with the name of founder Peter Brant. A polo icon and team owner exemplar, Brant’s passions extend beyond the boards into the intellectual world of contemporary art.
