Newport Polo

Business Overview

By the time the sport of polo arrived on Newport’s shores during the Gilded Age in the 1800s, it was ripe with 2500 years of evolution, captivating newcomers as it swept the globe. Newport’s summer sporting set embraced the new pastime, establishing America's first polo club in 1876. A charter member of the United States Polo Association, Newport Polo remains a trailblazing model polo club, hosting the Newport International Polo Series public exhibition matches for the community's enjoyment, supporting philanthropic causes, hosting tournaments, polo club member services, and polo instruction year-round.

Each Saturday in June through September for 31 seasons, the Newport International Polo Series features teams from around the world & from major US cities competing against USA / Newport. Each season brings an exciting lineup of action-packed polo matches, international team debuts, and memorable special events for fun on and off the field, supported by an enthusiastic spectator audience.
