Mon 24th Aug 2026The Hublot Polo Gold Cup Gstaad 2026 Meier Brothers Finally Strike Gold in Gstaad
Albinati Aeronautics claimed the 2026 Hublot Polo Gold Cup Gstaad after edging Kielder Agro Group 8-7 in a gripping Final, giving Swiss brothers Fabio and Luca Meier their long-awaited first title after four appearances in the championship.
The Final reflected a highly competitive tournament, with both Semi finals having come down to a single goal. The Final match was no different, with the sides locked at 2-2 after the opening chukka and 3-3 at halftime. Albinati finally broke clear in the third chukka to establish a two-goal advantage before Kielder, led by Juan Pepa, mounted a late comeback. However, the Meier brothers' team held firm to secure the prestigious Gold Cup by the narrowest of margins.
The victory also completed a remarkable week for Adrian Laplacette. The Argentine was named Best Professional Player having finished as the tournament's leading scorer with 17 goals. He also rode the Best Playing Pony, Ombucito El Padrino, in the Final. Juan Pepa received the Best Amateur Player Award after another outstanding tournament.
Laplacette credited perseverance for the win, “I really wanted to win it. For me, it was my third time playing here and I had already lost a Final two years ago. So, to finally win it is incredible. And the guys had already played four Finals: at the fourth attempt, they finally did it! It shows that you have to keep trying, keep going.”
Earlier in the day, Hublot secured third place with a 7-5 victory over Gstaad Palace. Gonzalito Pieres scored five goals to finish his first appearance in Gstaad with 16 goals in three matches.
The epic Final concluded four days of great polo, sunshine, packed sidelines and a fantastic atmosphere in the Swiss Alps.

The Terralpa Silver Cup titles were decided over the weekend at Ayala Polo Club, with Amanara successfully defending the High Goal crown, P1 Cars El Bambú claiming the Medium Goal title and Estancia Lamar lifting the Low Goal trophy.
Amanara retained the High Goal Silver Cup after overturning a three-goal deficit to defeat Dubai Polo 14-11 in a thrilling Final. Trailing 8-5 at halftime, Facundo Pieres inspired the comeback with a nine-goal performance as Amanara turned the match around in the fifth chukka before Teodoro Lacau sealed victory. Earlier in the day, La Dolfina Marqués de Riscal won the Copa Sotogrande, defeating Sainte Mesme 16-10.
In the Medium Goal, P1 Cars El Bambú edged Jolly Roger 12-11 after surviving a spirited comeback. Having led 9-4 at halftime, Carlos María Ulloa's side saw Jolly Roger draw level in the sixth chukka before Ulloa struck twice late on to secure the title.
The Low Goal Final produced another dramatic finish as Estancia Lamar ended Vamos Korea's unbeaten run with an 11-10 victory. Despite Bronze Cup winners, Vamos Korea leading for much of the contest, Estancia Lamar produced a strong finish over the final two chukkas to claim The Silver Cup.
