The
second North Atlantic
Cup has been well organised by the Bicycle Polo Association of Ireland from
27 to 29 April 2007 on
the polo pitch of the Phoenix park in Dublin.
Twelve teams (a record for an international tournament!) played matches of 4 X 10 minutes: A.S.C. Pessac Alouette (France), Dublin Obelisk (Ireland), Dublin Phoenix (Ireland), E.S. Gervais-Lilas (France), Jericho C.P.A. (Canada) helped by players from Aiken B.P. (U.S.A.), Johnstone W.C.C. (United Kingdom), Oakenden Pedallers (United Kingdom), Pédales Varengevillaises (France), San Francisco B.P. (U.S.A.), Unionville B.P. (U.S.A.), V.C. Frileuse-Sanvic (France) and a mixed team made with players from several teams since a team didn't come at the last minutes.
Teams played in two qualification groups of 6 teams each. Teams were put into groups by taking into account the 2006 rank for teams which played it and by draw for the new teams.
