Upcoming Tournaments
SA Ladies Inv Tour to India
The South African Ladies Invitational Tour to India is an international women's polo event that sends a South African women's squad to compete in India — typically at the Rajasthan Polo Club in Jaipur or the Delhi Polo Club — during the Indian winter polo season (October–March). The tour reflects the global connectivity of women's polo's growing competitive network, bringing two polo-playing nations from opposite ends of the Commonwealth into direct competition in one of the world's most spectacular heritage settings.
King Power International Ladies Tournament
The King Power International Ladies Tournament is a prestigious women's polo event with strong connections to the King Power Group, the Thai duty-free retail conglomerate whose chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha became famous as the transformative owner of Leicester City Football Club. King Power's sponsorship of polo reflects the company's broader commitment to international sports, and the Ladies Tournament brings high-quality women's polo to a venue and format that attracts significant international attention. The tournament is typically held in India during the winter polo season, taking advantage of the subcontinent's polo heritage and the royal patronage that characterises Indian polo.
Jaipur Open
The Jaipur Open is India's most celebrated polo tournament, held at the Rajasthan Polo Club in the Pink City of Jaipur — one of polo's most historically resonant locations. Jaipur has been associated with polo since the era of the maharajas, and the modern Jaipur Open continues this tradition under the patronage of Sawai Padmanabh Singh, the young Maharaja of Jaipur who has revived royal polo patronage in the twenty-first century. The tournament attracts international teams from Argentina, the UK, and the Gulf alongside India's best domestic players, creating a competitive event set against the backdrop of Rajasthan's extraordinary palaces and landscapes. The Jaipur Open is also one of the Indian polo season's great social occasions, drawing sponsors and spectators from India's business elite.
Rajasthan Tourism Polo Cup
The Rajasthan Tourism Polo Cup is a unique polo event that fuses competitive sport with the cultural heritage tourism mission of Rajasthan state's tourism department. Held at the historic Rajasthan Polo Club in Jaipur — the Pink City whose Maharajas played polo for centuries — the tournament is designed to bring international visitors into contact with Rajasthan's extraordinary polo tradition while showcasing the region's palatial architecture, desert landscape, and living royal culture. Jaipur's polo ground, adjacent to the city's historic core, provides a setting of unparalleled heritage significance.
SMS Gold Vase
The SMS Gold Vase is one of India's prestigious polo tournaments, held during the Indian winter polo season at the Sawai Mansingh II Polo Ground in Jaipur — the historic palace polo ground that serves as the stage for Jaipur's annual International Polo Season. Named in honour of Sawai Mansingh II, the Maharaja of Jaipur who was one of the 20th century's great polo patrons and players, the Gold Vase is steeped in the royal polo heritage that distinguishes Jaipur's polo scene from any other venue in the world.
Indian Polo Arc Cup
The Indian Polo Arc Cup is one of India's most prestigious international polo invitations, staged across the iconic grounds of Jaipur and Delhi that have defined Indian polo since the royal era. The tournament brings together international teams from the UAE, Argentina, the UK, and Australia alongside India's strongest domestic sides, creating a high-profile competitive event that showcases India's polo renaissance to the global polo community. Jaipur's polo heritage — rooted in the royal patronage of the Maharajas — gives the tournament a historical depth unmatched in modern Indian polo, while the Delhi leg connects to the capital's military and diplomatic polo tradition. The Arc Cup's international invitation format has been instrumental in reconnecting India with the global polo circuit after decades of relative isolation, attracting coverage from international polo media and demonstrating the quality of India's grounds, horses, and hospitality.
Indian Womens Polo Championship 2027
The Indian Women's Polo Championship is India's national women's polo title, typically held at the Jaipur Polo Ground or the Delhi Polo Club during the Indian polo season (October–March). India has a polo heritage stretching back to ancient Manipur, and women's polo in India has a growing competitive culture supported by the Indian Polo Association. The championship draws teams from India's military, civil service, and civilian polo clubs, with Jaipur's extraordinary heritage setting providing a backdrop of unparalleled historical grandeur.
