The Greenwich Polo Club, an escape from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, is nestled within 80 acres of Connecticut's beautiful backcountry in the exclusive gated Conyers Farm community. The Club hosts prominent tournaments and professional players, the world’s best polo horses, including the esteemed 20-goal East Coast Open by Audi.

Each match attracts thousands of spectators from New York City, Fairfield, and around the world, who enjoy an afternoon of world-class polo sport with friends and family. The club offers a variety of experiences, from lawn picnic seating with reserved umbrellas and painted circles in the grass, to reserved bistro tables in front of the grandstand, private SkyBoxes, or tickets to The Players' Lounge tent. For larger groups or special occasions, consider booking a Player's Lounge Suite for ten guests or a private cabana for up to 25. Entry to Greenwich Polo club is keeping in tradition with a car pass.

One of the highlights of the occasion is The Pony Bar by The Cup Bearer (@the_cup_bearer), featuring NYC's top show bartenders and custom-crafted Polo-inspired cocktails. Grab your "Chukker" and partake in the storied polo tradition of stomping the divots during halftime. The Greenwich Polo Club offers the most Instagram-worthy venue to visit this summer.

Many of the world's top players, including Mariano Aguerre, Facundo Pieres, Hilario Ulloa, and Nacho Figueras, have graced the fields of the Greenwich Polo Club. Each spring, these players bring their champion horses to compete for one of Polo's most prestigious cups.

Greenwich Polo Club’s 2024 season partners include Audi, Societe Generale, Mohegan Sun Casino, Barbados Tourism Marketing, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) Orthopedics Stamford Health, MGM Rewards, Strongwater Restoration, CTC&G, Morano Group Landscapes + Hardscapers, The Cup Bearer, Maria Selden Catering and Trail Network.
