Copa de Bronce de Sotogrande
The Copa de Bronce de Sotogrande is the entry-level tournament of the Sotogrande competitive calendar, providing an ideal introduction to the world's most famous Mediterranean polo venue for emerging patron teams and professionals. Contested at 6-8 goal level, the Bronce attracts teams making their first steps at Santa María Polo Club, alongside established patron players who prefer the more intimate competitive environment of the lower-goal events. The Mediterranean summer setting — warm evenings, pine-scented air, and the backdrop of the Andalusian hills — makes the Copa de Bronce one of polo's most enjoyable competitive experiences, regardless of the goal level.
Copa de Plata
The Copa de Plata de Sotogrande is the mid-tier tournament of the celebrated Sotogrande season, occupying the competitive space between the entry-level Copa de Bronce and the prestigious Gold Cup that crowns the summer. Contested at 12-15 goal level, the Copa de Plata attracts strong international teams who are building toward the Gold Cup or competing at the level that best matches their team's composition. The Mediterranean summer setting of Santa María Polo Club provides one of polo's most enjoyable environments for competition and hospitality.
Sotogrande Gold Cup
The Sotogrande Gold Cup is Spain's most prestigious high-goal polo tournament, held each August at the Santa María Polo Club in Sotogrande, Andalucía — one of Europe's premier polo complexes, situated in the hills above the Strait of Gibraltar with views toward North Africa. At 22-goal, the Sotogrande Gold Cup is the centrepiece of a multi-week Sotogrande polo festival that runs throughout August, drawing top European and South American teams to one of the most luxurious polo destinations in the world. The Santa María club's more than 40 polo fields, exceptional horse facilities, and Andalucían luxury estate setting make Sotogrande the undisputed capital of European polo.

Iberian Polo Tour Finals
The Iberian Polo Tour Finals brings together the combined polo circuits of Spain and Portugal in a season-ending championship that crowns the best team across both countries' summer schedules. The tour has been instrumental in creating a coherent Iberian polo identity, connecting the Spanish circuit centred on Sotogrande with Portugal's growing polo scene at Quinta da Marinha and other Lisbon-area venues. The finals attract the strongest teams from both nations and serve as a showcase for the Mediterranean polo culture that has made the Iberian Peninsula one of Europe's most dynamic polo destinations.
Copa de Espana Femenina 2027
The Copa de España Femenina is Spain's national women's polo championship, organised by the Real Federación Hípica Española (RFHE) and contested between the top women's clubs from across the Iberian Peninsula. Spanish women's polo has grown rapidly in the past decade, benefiting from the country's excellent polo infrastructure centred on Sotogrande in Andalucía and the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid. The Copa de España provides the competitive culmination of the Spanish women's domestic season, with the champion team representing Spain in FIP and WWPT international competition.
FIP Ladies European Championship
The FIP Ladies European Championship is the official continental women's polo championship organised by the Fédération Internationale de Polo (FIP), bringing together national women's teams from across Europe in a competitive round-robin and knockout format. The championship is central to the development of competitive women's polo in Europe, providing international match experience at the highest level for England, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, and emerging polo nations across the continent. Held biennially in rotation between European host nations, the championship showcases the extraordinary growth in women's polo across Europe over the past two decades.
FIP European Championship
The FIP European Championship is the continent's premier national team polo competition, organised by the Fédération Internationale de Polo (FIP) and contested between European nations in a round-robin and knockout format. Held biennially, the championship rotates between European host venues — past editions have been held at Guards Polo Club, the Royal County of Berkshire, and venues across France, Spain, and Germany. The 2025 XV edition saw Spain claim the continental title. The FIP European Championship provides the primary international competitive pathway for European polo nations outside the World Championship cycle, and the competing squads represent the best of each country's domestic talent.
