Chantilly Polo Cup
The Chantilly Polo Cup is one of the most celebrated French polo events, played on the magnificent grounds of the Château de Chantilly in the Oise department. Combining 15-goal polo with the grandeur of one of France's finest equestrian estates, it attracts a discerning international audience and top European and South American teams.
Open de France
The Open de France is the most prestigious polo tournament in France, contested at the historic Polo Club de Bagatelle in Paris and the Château de Chantilly. Drawing international teams for 15-goal competition, it represents the height of the French polo season and is celebrated for its elegant Parisian setting and distinguished polo heritage.
Ladies Polo Nations Cup
The Ladies Polo Nations Cup is an international team competition for women's polo, bringing national squads into direct competition in a format that mirrors the FIP World Championship structure but provides more frequent international match experience between championship cycles. Held at one of France's premier polo venues — typically Chantilly or the Polo de Deauville — the Nations Cup provides the international competitive experience that is essential for the development of women's national teams across Europe and beyond.
Coupe de France
The Coupe de France is the French national polo championship, organised by the Fédération Française de Polo (FFP) and staged across France's two premier polo destinations — Chantilly in the Ile-de-France and the Normandy grounds around Deauville. The national championship brings together France's strongest clubs and patron teams in a competition that crowns the country's polo champion each season. The tournament's dual-venue format reflects French polo's geographic concentration, and competition at the highest domestic level attracts several of the Argentine professionals based in France during the European summer. The Coupe de France is the pinnacle of the French polo season and a showcase for the considerable talent the country has developed.
Ladies Cup Deauville
The Ladies Cup Deauville is a women's polo showcase event in the storied tradition of Deauville summer polo — France's most glamorous equestrian resort combining polo, racing, casino culture, and the Norman coast's extraordinary beauty. Distinct from the Deauville Ladies Trophy, the Ladies Cup is a separate competitive women's event that forms part of the broader Deauville summer polo programme from July through August. The Polo Club de Deauville's Belle Époque grandstands and the backdrop of the Norman cliffs make every event at the ground visually extraordinary.
Deauville Gold Cup
The Deauville Gold Cup is the centrepiece of the French polo season, staged each August at the Deauville polo grounds in Normandy during the famous Deauville August festival that brings together horse racing, film, casino, and sea bathing in one of Europe's most glamorous seasonal destinations. Contested at high-goal level with top Argentine professionals, the Gold Cup is France's most prestigious polo tournament and one of Europe's most socially prominent sporting events. The Normandy setting — green fields behind the Côte Fleurie beach, an hour from Paris — gives the event a distinctly French elegance.
Coupe de France Feminine 2027
The Coupe de France Féminine is France's national women's polo championship, typically held at one of France's premier polo venues — either the Polo de Paris at Bagatelle or the historic Deauville polo grounds in Normandy. French women's polo has grown significantly over the past decade, with the Coupe de France serving as the culmination of the French domestic season and the primary team competition for the top French women's clubs. The tournament draws international players competing for French clubs alongside French nationals, creating a cosmopolitan competitive field representative of polo's global nature.
Deauville Ladies Trophy 2027
The Deauville Ladies Trophy is one of France's most prestigious women's polo events, held at the iconic Polo de Deauville in Normandy — one of Europe's grandest and most historic polo venues, in operation since 1907. Part of the Deauville summer season that includes the renowned Deauville Polo World Cup, the Ladies Trophy provides women players with access to the same exceptional facilities and setting as the men's high-goal circuit. Deauville's distinctive Belle Époque grandstands and the backdrop of the Norman coast make the Ladies Trophy one of the most atmospheric women's polo events on the global calendar.
