The Meadow Brook Club was established in 1881, and for the first several years matches were played on the racetrack at the Mineola Fairgrounds, before opening its own facility, including a field and clubhouse, in 1884. Originally located in the town of
Westbury, New York, the new venue was home to the United States National Open from 1923 to 1953. In 1928 the fields hosted the Cup of the Americas match between the
United States and
Argentina, which attracted more than 100,000 spectators over three days. In 1932, the club became the only non-Argentine club to win the
Argentine Open Polo Championship.
World War II caused a major reduction in activity, and in 1954 the club was razed for the construction of the
Meadowbrook Parkway. ==New locations==
