The First Match

After a very unique 2020 season, Greenwich Polo Club is incredibly excited to welcome more of its loyal fan base back through its gates for a full season of Sunday matches, with the GPC experience you’ve come to know and love.

From picnicking on the lawn, to the ever-popular halftime divot stomp, to crafting custom cocktails with The Cup Bearer in the Players’ Lounge VIP, there is truly something for everyone at GPC. If you haven’t yet purchased your tickets for the upcoming season, now is the time, as premium tickets are becoming limited for all matches. This season’s Sunday events will be back to nearly full capacity at the club, but please remember that while the State of Connecticut has lifted all restrictions for outdoor events, the CDC encourages those who are not fully-vaccinated to mask and social distance.

The gates for Sunday’s featured public match open at 1:00 pm and play begins at 3:00 pm. Please be sure to purchase your tickets in advance as entry without a ticket is not guaranteed.
