The East Coast Open was founded in Rhode Island in 1905 and was played
continuously until World War I. It had a renaissance starting in 1978 when Donald
Little, then President of the United States Polo Association and Captain of the
Myopia Polo Club, resurrected the tournament and brought it to Myopia Polo Club
in South Hamilton, Massachusetts where it was played until the early 2000's.
Through its history, some of the best players in the world including many 10 goal
players (the highest possible handicap) such as Mariano Aguerre, Mike Azzaro,
Tommy Biddle, and Gonzalo Pieres, Sr. have played and won this tournament and
inspired many of today's players to pick up their mallets.
Since 1905, the Perry Cup trophy has symbolized this high-goal championship
and was donated by Mrs. Marsden Jaseal Perry – wife of a respected business-
man, well-known clubman and owner of the largest Shakespearian library in the
United States - for the competition. It was designed by noted American sculptor
Oscar L. Lenz and the silversmith was Gorham Manufacturing Company in Rhode
Island. The cup has recently been restored and is making its second renaissance
debut after nearly 15 years. The world’s best polo players will descend on the
town of Greenwich, Connecticut to compete in the East Coast Open for this
illustrious prize and determine which names will join polo greats etched into the
storied trophy.
