Established in 1981, Greenwich Polo Club is one of the top polo venues in the world. Located only 30 miles Northeast of New York City, Greenwich Polo Club is the epicenter of high-goal polo in the United States during the summer season and is one of only four high-goal clubs in the country. The club is home to the legendary White Birch polo team, one of the most successful in history, having won the most high-goal polo tournaments of any team over the course of the past 25 years, including the US Open Polo Championship in 2005. Greenwich Polo Club hosts public high-goal polo matches on Sundays beginning in June and concluding mid-September. Greenwich Polo Club has hosted some of the sport’s most prestigious tournaments: the East Coast Open, Gold Cup, Sentebale Cup with H.R.H Prince Harry Duke of Sussex, and the Silver Cup. Many of the world’s most notable players have played at Greenwich Polo Club, including Mariano Aguerre, Nacho Figueras, Facundo Pieres, Nic Roldan and Hilario Ulloa, to name a few. Beginning in the early spring, polo teams arrive in Greenwich from all over the world and create a significant boost to the region. In recent years, the club has hosted teams hailing from Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Virginia, as well as international teams including Argentina, Australia, England, France, India and Italy. This influx of talent brings more than 40 players and 500 horses, attracting tens of thousands of fans to watch them play live. The club expects more than 3,000 spectators each Sunday (exceeding that total for tournament finals) during the 2020 season.
