On St. Patrick’s Day – Sunday, March 17, the National Polo Center (NPC) in Wellington, Florida will play host to an international showdown as the USA takes on Ireland at 11:00am ET on BTG Pactual Field 2. Hope Arellano (3), Quinn Evans (1), Felipe Viana (6) and Tommy Collingwood (5) will represent USA. Viana and Collingwood both competed in last year’s match and defeated Ireland, 14-3.
Traveling from across the pond, the Irish collective will be comprised of Evan Power (3), Max Hutchinson (4), Niall Donnelly (3), and Richard Tyrone (5). The Irishmen are returning to NPC looking for redemption, as all four players took part in the 2023 competition.
Entry to the international match is free and open to the public with fieldside tailgating available on a first come, first served basis. Spectators are encouraged to join the team spirit and represent their county’s colors in support of their favorite team.
