About Polo in Australia
Polo is a high-speed equestrian team sport played on horseback in which players use mallets to drive a ball through the opposing team's goalposts. One of the world's oldest team sports, it combines exceptional horsemanship with teamwork and tactical play.
Getting Started
Polo clubs in Australia welcome new players and often provide access to suitable horses ('lease ponies') for beginners. Learning to ride proficiently before taking up polo is strongly recommended. Clubs run beginner chukkas and coaching days throughout the season.

Polo is played predominantly in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia, with key venues at Ellerston (NSW), Yering Station (VIC), and Brisbane Polo Club (QLD). Polo Australia oversees the sport nationally. Find polo players and clubs near you on Sports Match Maker.
