WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. AND WINDSOR, U.K. / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2025 / U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), in partnership with Brand Machine Group (BMG), its licensing partner in the United Kingdom, proudly served once again as the Official Apparel and Team Sponsor for the 2025 Outsourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup. The prestigious event took place on July 11 at the renowned Windsor Great Park at Flemish Farms' Guards Polo Club.

In its seventh consecutive year of sponsorship for the charitable event, U.S. Polo Assn. outfitted all participating polo players, umpires, and flaggers in custom-designed performance jerseys, with The Prince of Wales captaining the U.S. Polo Assn. Team. The annual event brought together elite polo players and distinguished guests for a day of sport and charitable giving.

His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales competed in an exciting round-robin format match against Team Fortunis Bloodstock and Team Manta Marine Technologies - La Ilusión Polo Club. The high-profile charitable event featured other well-known polo players, including James Beim, Henry Porter, Jack Richardson, and Ivan Rubinich, to name a few. The match was filled with excellent gameplay from all participants, concluding with The Prince of Wales scoring the game-winning goal against Manta Marine Technologies. The Royal Charity Cup's Most Valuable Player was Emma McCrae from Team Fortunis Bloodstock, who had a great neck-shot goal during the day, alongside the Best Polo Pony, Chechu, played by HRH and owned by King Power Polo.

In addition to performance gear, U.S. Polo Assn. provided a limited-edition 135^th Anniversary commemorative gift to all event attendees, celebrating the brand's storied heritage dating back to 1890. The tailored gift set included a canvas tote bag, a 135^th Anniversary cap, a pocket square, a lapel pin, the brand's newest issue of Field X Fashion magazine, as well as co-branded event caps developed exclusively for this occasion.

"It is an extraordinary honor to once again have The Prince of Wales lead the U.S. Polo Assn. Team in support of this meaningful charity event," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company which manages the global, multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. "We are proud to stand alongside our partner Brand Machine Group in raising critical funds and awareness through the sport of polo for very important causes that uplift communities across the United Kingdom."

The annual high-profile philanthropic event raised more than £1.1 million for 10 important charities that are supported by The Prince and Princess of Wales. The 2025 event contribution takes the total raised from Royal Charity Polo Days played in the U.K. over the last 14 years to more than £14 million.

Those charities include: Anna Freud Centre, British Red Cross, Child Bereavement UK, East Anglia's Children's Hospices, Family Action, Fields in Trust, Forward Trust, NHS Charities Together, Royal African Society, and We Are Farming Minds.

In addition to U.S. Polo Assn.'s role as the Official Apparel and Team Sponsor, the 2025 Outsourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup was supported by a distinguished lineup of sponsors, including Lugano Diamonds, AUDI, and Whispering Angel. These prestigious brands joined forces to help elevate the experience for players and guests alike, while reinforcing the event's charitable mission through their shared commitment to excellence, philanthropy, and style.
