Established in 1890, the Calgary Polo Club is the oldest club in Canada. The club’s legacy is a testimonial to the dedication and strength of the local polo community, and to the multitude of opportunities the club offers to its members and spectators.

The staff and members of the Calgary Polo Club welcome all to come and partake in the sport of polo. Whether it is on the sidelines, on the field, or at an elegant event in the Ranch House, the Calgary Polo magazine is your guide and invitation to be a part of the greatest game on earth.
