The Joe Barry Memorial Cup is named after American polo legend Joe Barry, who died May 18, 2002, at age 58. Born and raised in Texas, he achieved a 9-goal rating and dominated polo in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s.
Barry won six U.S. Open championships, three Gold Cups, three Silver Cups as well as the Coronation Cup (USA vs. England) and Camacho Cup (USA vs. Mexico) trophies.
One of the greatest No. 4s in polo history, Barry was elected to the Polo Hall of Fame in 1999.
