Watch the Argentine Polo Open Championship

Visiting Buenos Aires?
Don’t Miss The Opportunity To Watch The Argentine Polo Open Championship

The best polo in the world is played once a year in Buenos Aires, at the Argentine Polo Open Championship. This prestigious tournament starts on mid November 20th and the final is on mid December.

Nov-19 a Dic-10, 2012
Campo Argentino de Polo – Palermo, Buenos Aires

Which are the factors that make it a summit for all lovers of polo?

First, over 115 years of tradition (since 1893). The Argentine Open Polo Championship is the most important worldwide interclub event, and the fifth oldest in the world. The second tournament is the Hurlingham Open –also Argentinean.

The hierarchy of the tournament was won by the great skill of our players, and the excellent quality of our horses. The team handicap must be between 28 and 40 goals, reached only in Argentina (or at least with Argentinian players). The level of competition is very high, only the best players and best horses get there. The Palermo polo field has the maximum allowed dimensions: 275 × 146 meters. Not every horse supports the demands of speed and distance, plus the demands of the player who wants to win at all costs.

You can expect to see some of the best players, riding amazing horses, hitting the ball at incredible speed and showing their awesome skills playing the sport of kings. This Argentinian polo championship is a major social event as well a sporting highlight on the Argentine calendar. It is regarded by many as both an exciting spectacle and an unmissable opportunity for high-level socializing and some first-rate people-watching. Every year, over 80,000 people attends the tournament during 3 weeks. And more than 20,000 spectators attends just the final match. Unique!

“…I want to let you know how professional I think you act in all you do. We had not meet (only be e mail) yet you took the time and care to provide me with not only travel options but also accommodation and tours with a trip that suited my particular needs. It was the complete package. Not many people have the ability to understand the likes and dislikes and needs of many different people. You provided a personal touch that is no longer common in business. I’m very happy with how you looked after me and and have no hesitation in recommending to you others.
Regards”

“I can highly recommend the services that APL offers. They escorted my Family and I for a very memorable full day in which we gained insights and appreciation of polo in Argentina. We are horse riders but polo beginners and were safely out hitting balls in less time than we expected, due to the expert tuition. I think beginners and experienced players would all appreciate APL’s assistance.”

“We arrived in Buenos Aires after two weeks of travel in Brazil and Chile and it felt like coming home. We were embraced as part of the family and were looked after brilliantly. The history of the estancia and its place at the heart of Argentine polo life is fascinating. A day trip into BA taking in huge swathes of history and culture was really worthwhile and Sergio organised a fantastic guide to look after us and educate us! The estancia is beautiful. The house is spacious and gracious. The grounds are grand and elegant. It feels as if one has been transported back to a bygone and better era. After four days we were refreshed, invigorated and ready to settle in for the polo season…alas we had to return home!”
