Nowadays the Copa Agua Alta has won a fixed place in the international tournament calendar and now takes place for the 15th time.

The Copa Agua Alta has three different categories. From April 12th to 19th teams with a handicap from 8-goals to 10-goals will compete, from April 15th to 19th teams with a handicap of 4-goals will play and from April 22th to 24th matches and polo lessons for the junior enthusiast will occur.
