Arena Polo: Key Differences and Major International Tournaments

Arena polo is a faster-paced version of polo played in a smaller enclosed arena. Compared with outdoor polo, it is usually more physical, uses a larger ball and smaller goals, and has some different penalty rules. Arena polo is widely played in the United States, where many clubs run arena programmes. It is also the main form of collegiate polo in the United States and Canada, while university polo in the United Kingdom includes both arena and outdoor formats. Major competitions include the U.S. Arena Polo Championship, which began in 1926; Argentina's Arena Polo Grand Prix, first held in 2019; and the Arena Polo European Championship, which started in 2015.
