This summer's matches promise to be some of the most exciting in the sport of polo. The sport's greatest athletes will compete for one of polo's most treasured prizes.

Teams that will compete this season include: CERTIFIED, CINQUE TERRE/HEATHCOTE, EQUUELEUS, W.B.F, GREAT OAKS and BLACK WATCH.

Season partners include: Mercedes-Benz, Piaget, Blue Star Jets,

Polo Ralph Lauren will return this summer as the exclusive apparel retailer with an onsite shop at the Bridgehampton Polo matches. Evocative of the spirit and heritage of Polo, the shop will feature Ralph Lauren's Black Watch collection and The World of Polo Fragrance. Spectators visiting the Ralph Lauren shop will have a great view of the polo matches and be able to enter to win a Polo lesson with Black Watch team member Nacho Figueras. Polo Ralph Lauren became an official sponsor of the Black Watch Polo team in 2007, providing apparel created exclusively for the polo players.   

The 2009 season will commence on Saturday, July 18th and will continue for six consecutive Saturdays, ending August 22nd. A portion of the proceeds from the Mercedes-Benz Bridgehampton Polo Challenge will go to the South Fork Breast Health Coalition.
