Queen's Cup Polo 2010
The 2010 season of the Queen's Cup took place from May 18 to June 13, 2010 and thus for the fiftieth time.
Each team had to play three times in the preliminary round matches. In League 1 and League 2, the two best teams qualified for the quarter-finals; That was in Liga 1 El Remanso with 35:34 and La Bamba de Areco with 34:31 goals and in Liga 2 Dubai with 33:24 and Lechuza Caracas with 35:28 goals. Four teams advanced in Group 1: Les Lions II (42:33), Enigma (40:36), Piaget (33:30) and Zacara (25:26). In the quarter-finals, a simple victory was enough to advance, the defeated teams played in the sub-semi-finals for a place in the "small" final, the Harcourt Developments Cup .
Adolfo Cambiaso set a new record with a total of seven wins in a Queen's Cup tournament so far. He also received the "Best Playing Pony" award for his horse "Certain", together with Agustin Merlos, who received it for "Menina". The "Most Valuable Player" of the finals was 17 year old Chris Mackenzie, who played for Les Lions II . The award ceremony was also carried out in 2010 by Queen Elizabeth II .
