Platinum Cup

About the Tournament

The Platinum Cup is South Africa's most picturesque polo event, held each January at Plettenberg Bay on the Garden Route — a coastline widely regarded as one of the world's most beautiful stretches of landscape. Played on manicured fields with the Indian Ocean as backdrop, the Platinum Cup combines high-quality polo with the extraordinary natural beauty of the Western Cape. International professionals fly in alongside South Africa's top players for a tournament that has become a fixture on the global circuit for players who want to combine competitive polo with a world-class travel destination. The Plettenberg Bay summer (January) offers perfect polo weather — warm, dry days and spectacular light for evening socialising.
