Casa de Campo Resort & Villas is gearing up for an exciting weekend as the Ladies Polo Cup returns on March 22 for its third edition. This all-female tournament offers much more than thrilling chukkers and elite polo skills — it’s a celebration of athleticism and giving.
Not only will the competition captivate spectators, but the event also supports Hogar del Niño, collecting donations of powdered milk to help children in need, and the Madres Maravillas program, which empowers women through education and community support. It’s a weekend of fierce competition, stylish spectators and heart, all for a great cause.
Ladies Polo Cup
Organized by Carolina Rainer de Matos, the Ladies Polo Cup brings together an impressive mix of international and local talent, including stars like Malena Colombo, Keki Crespo, Vero Posse, and Guillermina Stern. But this tournament isn’t just about polo — it’s about impact. The event continues Casa de Campo’s commitment to social responsibility.
Since its inception, the event has served as a platform for both sporting excellence and philanthropy. This year’s edition extends that mission by encouraging attendees to contribute to Hogar del Niño, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of children in need.
“The Third Cup reaffirms our commitment to the community and women as a source of inspiration and work,” said Rainer. “It’s much more than a tournament; it’s an act of support, a circle of strength, and a demonstration that when women move forward, the whole community grows with them.”
An Unforgettable Weekend
The fun begins March 20 at 6 p.m. with a welcome cocktail at Minitas Beach, where teams and sponsors will be introduced. The main event on March 22 at 4 p.m. promises a thrilling blend of competition, camaraderie and elegance set against the backdrop of Casa de Campo’s world-class facilities. Whether a longtime polo fan or a newcomer, spectators will find an immersive experience combining sport and style.
The event also shines a spotlight on the increasing presence of women in the sport, inspiring more Dominican women to take up polo and contribute to its growth.
Sponsoring Change
The event is made possible through the support of sponsors such as El Catador, Banreservas, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and many more. Rainer expressed her gratitude: “They all believe in the power of unity and the magic of giving. Together, we’re building something bigger than a tournament; we’re leaving a legacy.”
Whether you’re there for the thrilling competition or the meaningful cause, the Ladies Polo Cup at Casa de Campo offers a perfect blend of elite athleticism and social impact. It’s a day to soak in the excitement of the sport, sip champagne and cheer for a cause that makes a difference, proving that polo is more than just a game — it’s a force for good.
