Nominations are open for the Gusbourne Polo Club of the Year and the HPA Polo Coach of the Year, to be awarded at The Polo Awards on 11 May 2026 at the iconic Underglobe, London. The event promises another unforgettable evening celebrating excellence in the world of polo, and these new categories, decided by public vote, will bring an extra special level of excitement to the evening.

  • Gusbourne Polo Club of the Year

Two further awards – Polo Pony of the Year and Player of the Year – will be shortlisted in-house using a stats-based approach, ensuring the highest level of recognition for these standout contributions to the sport. Nominations for Club and Coach of the Year will be reviewed internally before the final shortlists are released, with the winners of all four categories to be decided by public vote.

“The Polo Awards have always celebrated the very best in the game,” said Anna Hall, CEO. “This year, we are thrilled to broaden the celebration, recognising not just our winning teams, but the clubs, coaches, players, and ponies that make the sport extraordinary. This is just a starting point: we have additional categories in mind for the 2027 Polo Awards, and can’t wait to build on this edition for the future.”

The 2026 Polo Awards promise to be a night of glamour, excitement, and celebration for the polo community. Stay tuned for more details on nominations, voting, and sponsorships as the countdown to May begins.
