According to a MyFoxDC.com report, the news comes amid a flurry of negative reports about the couple, who is accused of crashing last weeks White House state dinner honouring Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, last week.
The couple claims they were invited.
"The Indian Embassy has decided to terminate its association with the 2010 America's Polo Cup," an official with the Indian Embassy told the station on Wednesday.
In early September the couple, flanked by Indian officials and toasting with wine, celebrated the announcement at the embassy in Washington, DC.
