World Cup Team

What Is the Polocrosse World Cup?

The Polocrosse World Cup is the highest level of international competition in the sport, bringing together the top polocrosse nations from around the world through the International Polocrosse Council (IPC). Held every four years, the event showcases elite horsemanship, athleticism, teamwork, and sportsmanship on a global stage.

Each participating country selects its national team through a multi-year development and selection process. Players chosen to represent Team USA are among the top competitors in American polocrosse and have demonstrated exceptional dedication, skill, horse management, leadership, and commitment to the sport.

Representing the United States at the World Cup is considered one of the greatest honors in polocrosse.

Why the World Cup Program Matters

The APA World Cup Program provides tremendous value to the American Polocrosse Association and its members far beyond international competition alone.

The program helps:

  • Raise the overall standard of play in the United States
  • Inspire youth and developing players
  • Strengthen coaching and player development
  • Increase visibility and credibility for the sport
  • Build national pride and community connection
  • Create opportunities for sponsorship and organizational growth

World Cup athletes and supporters often return with new knowledge, international experience, stronger leadership skills, and a deeper passion for the sport — benefits that positively impact clubs and players across the country.

Most importantly, the World Cup Program gives APA members a shared goal that unites the association through teamwork, dedication, and pride in representing the United States on the world stage.
