Polo in Connecticut

Polo in Connecticut: An Overview

Greenwich has served as an anchor of the American Eastern polo establishment for well over a century. The Greenwich Polo Club's manicured grounds in Conyers Farm have hosted high-goal events drawing professional Argentine, British, and American teams throughout the summer season, which runs from May through September. Matches at Greenwich carry a distinctive social character tied to the wealth and equestrian heritage of Fairfield County — the club's Sunday games have long attracted a stylish and knowledgeable crowd from the New York metropolitan area, making Greenwich polo one of the more socially prominent fixtures on the northeastern summer calendar. Connecticut falls within the USPA Eastern Circuit, which coordinates polo across the northeastern and mid-Atlantic states. The club's high-goal programme places it among a small group of venues in the eastern United States capable of hosting the sport's most competitive domestic tournaments. For visitors based in New York City, Greenwich is easily accessible by train or car — making it one of the most convenient high-goal polo experiences available to city residents. Lesson programmes and lower-goal play extend the club's reach beyond the elite competitive level, offering entry points for newer players at various stages of development.
