The America's Cup was founded under the Patronage of President of the United States on America's 400th Anniversary celebrating Jamestown 1607 and the birthplace of America.

In 2009, AUSTRALIA challenges the United States for The Historical America’s Polo Cup World Championship - The Worlds Largest & most Prestigous Polo Experience celebrating Americas Freedom!

When the United States hosts AUSTRALIA May 9th, 2009, Capitol Polo Club will be the site of a spectacular convergence of cultures. Among the Americans and Australians in attendance, you’ll find visiting dignitaries, elected representatives, United Nations members, Military partners, fashion lovers, horse fanciers, polo fans, and music devotees, all with one thing in common. A desire to be part of a world-class celebration.

The America's Cup celebrates the relatioship between each country, including Military partnerships with a opening air show which has grown to be the world largest polo experience in the sport, opening a new chapter for this exciting game whose earliest written accounts date back more than 2,000 years.  Originally Polo was used by the military as a means to train officers to determine their ranks prior to World War II.  Today, we honor this tradition with active partnerships by each branch of the Armed Services.

Returning in 2009 will be the hugely successful and popular "Rockin the Runway" Fashion show, a televised event. 

For 2009, The Celebration will be enjoyed by Thousands and thousands of supporters and fans for the 2009 America's World Cup, which will once again bring a day full of surprises, musical talent and festivities on stage at this years America's Polo Cup with opening ceremonial fly overs after the National Anthems of both countries performed.  Returning will be the US Navy, US Coast Guard, US Marines, US Army, BlackWater USA Parachute Team, as well as the U.S. Park Police Aviation and Horse Mounted Division.  A Surprise Air Show fly over will also occur.

This year’s event will have performances by Headliners from Australia to the United States - starting on Friday May 8th, thru May 9th.   Including a grand finale spectacular two live concerts by a Australian & USA National Headliner with Fireworks Show! 

Capitol Polo Club, in Potomac, Marlyand was awarded the 2009 host location of the America’s Polo Cup.  States & Countys bid for the honor to host the prestigous America's Polo Cup due to its significant economic impact on the locality.  Its location in Potomac, Marlyand – makes it a 25-minute drive from Washington Dulles International Airport and a 35-minute drive from the White House.   A New Challenging Country and New Host Venue will be awarded the rights to the Prestigous America's Cup for 2010 at the 2009 America's Cup.
