Nestled within the exclusive Conyers Farm community in Greenwich, Connecticut, the celebrated venue has been welcoming polo enthusiasts since 1981. Today, it is recognized as one of the world’s premier high-goal polo clubs and serves as the home of the legendary White Birch polo team. Surrounded by rolling green fields and elegant estates, the location provides a luxurious escape where sport, style, and summer entertaining come together.
The 2026 season began with the American Cup on June 7, followed by the East Coast Silver Cup throughout June, culminating in the championship match on June 28. Fans can also look forward to the prestigious East Coast Gold Cup, presented by Interactive Brokers, taking place on July 5, July 12, and concluding with the final on July 18.

The excitement continues later in the summer with the East Coast Open, presented by Audi, beginning August 30 and continuing through September 13. The season concludes with CSI Greenwich on September 26 and 27, featuring Olympic-level CSI5* international show jumping that attracts many of the world’s finest equestrian athletes.
While the polo itself showcases remarkable athleticism from both riders and horses, Greenwich Polo Club has also become one of the Northeast’s premier fashion events. Guests embrace timeless summer elegance, arriving in flowing floral dresses, crisp linen suits, colorful fascinators, wide-brim hats, statement sunglasses, and polished loafers. The atmosphere blends classic country club sophistication with modern luxury, making it the perfect setting for fashion lovers and photographers alike.

No visit would be complete without participating in one of polo’s most beloved traditions – stomping the divots during halftime. The unique spectator ritual invites guests onto the field to help repair the turf while mingling with fellow attendees, creating an unforgettable social experience.
Throughout its history, Greenwich Polo Club has welcomed many of polo’s greatest names, including Mariano Aguerre, Facundo Pieres, Hilario Ulloa, and international polo ambassador Nacho Figueras. Their presence has helped establish the club as one of the premier destinations for high-goal polo in North America.
Whether visitors come for championship competition, luxury hospitality, gourmet dining, or simply to showcase their finest summer style, Greenwich Polo Club continues to deliver one of Connecticut’s most elegant seasonal experiences. It remains the perfect destination for anyone looking to enjoy a sophisticated Sunday surrounded by beautiful scenery, thrilling equestrian sport, and timeless fashion.
