AUCKLAND POLO CLUB New Zealand
The Auckland Club was one of the first polo clubs to be formed in New Zealand. The Club has its own grounds and plays polo at least four times a week. The polo captain is Cody Forsyth, a familiar name to visitors to Smith’s Lawn. In fact Cody can often be found watching games at Smith’s Lawn during the English polo season.

CAMPO ARGENTINO DE POLO Palermo, Argentina
The home of the greatest polo in the world – the Argentine Open – this polo ground in Palermo was built in 1918. It has been the home of the Argentine Open since 1928 – the world’s fifth oldest polo tournament – and the ground is affectionately known as the Cathedral of Polo. Just 10 minutes from the centre of Buenos Aires, this venue is different
from the other clubs in this list as it is a polo venue rather than a club. However, the Club’s reciprocal links to Campo Argentino de Polo enable Guards members to purchase priority tickets for all the games in the Argentine Open. This year’s great contest will conclude on 8 December.
