NSW Polo Association

The NSW Polo Association, based in Sydney, is a leading sports club responsible for administering polo throughout New South Wales (NSW). Their primary goal is to promote the game of polo and organise a calendar of tournaments and matches for both players and spectators to enjoy.

The association also plays a crucial role in player development and ensuring fair play by taking disciplinary action when necessary. The NSW Polo Association is governed by a dedicated Board of Directors who are elected by club delegates at the Annual General Meeting.

With over twenty polo clubs scattered throughout NSW, the association works closely with these clubs to organise tournaments and events all year round. The clubs are divided into three zones – the Hawkesbury, the South, and the North – and tournaments are scheduled in each zone throughout the year.

Polo is played in two distinct seasons in NSW. Autumn runs from March to the end of May, while Spring takes place from August to November. If you're interested in playing polo in Australia, it is mandatory to hold a playing membership from an affiliated club.

The NSW Polo Association warmly welcomes spectators to their tournaments, and the majority of these events are free to attend. To keep up to date with the latest tournaments and events happening across NSW, interested individuals can refer to the association's regularly updated “Calendar” section on their website. However, it's important to note that games may be cancelled due to weather conditions, so it's advisable to check the website for updates.

Membership options within the NSW polo community are available for both players and polo enthusiasts who wish to stay informed about all NSWPA tournaments. Individuals can become a Playing Member or join as a Friend of Polo to receive regular emails and notifications. For further information about membership, interested parties can contact Shauna in the office at 0409 764 607.
