# Vanderbilt Trophy

De Vanderbilt Throphy is de prijs voor een jaarlijks terugkerende bridgewedstrijd voor viertallen-teams, die in 1928 gesticht werd door Harold Stirling Vanderbilt en die de prijs zelf won in 1932 en 1940. Dit bridge-evenement werd jaarlijks gehouden in New York - als een opzichzelfstaande wedstrijd – tot het in 1958 een onderdeel werd van de "Spring North American Championships".
De winnaars ontvangen een replica van de oorspronkelijke Trophy – een gebruik sinds de eerste wedstrijd – die wordt gefinancierd uit een trustfonds uit de nalatenschap van Vanderbilt en beheerd door de American Contract Bridge League (ACBL).
De enige Nederlandse winnaar is Jan Jansma die in 2022 in een team met Noren en Amerikanen de finale won.
