All matches are hosted at the National Polo Center – Wellington, a state-of-the-art venue renowned for its immaculate fields and premium hospitality. The NPC, sponsored by U.S. Polo Assn., is the epicenter of American polo, attracting thousands of fans and elite teams from around the globe.

These victories set a high bar for the 2026 season, with fans eager to see if La Dolfina Tamera can complete the American Triple Crown.
Attending the Gauntlet of Polo is more than a sporting event—it’s a lifestyle experience. Spectators enjoy champagne divot stomps, gourmet concessions, live music, and VIP hospitality.
The finals are broadcast on major networks like ESPN and beIN Sports, but nothing compares to the electric atmosphere of the grandstands at NPC.
This season is especially significant as NPC celebrates 250 years of American spirit, honoring the nation’s milestone anniversary. The Gauntlet of Polo remains the ultimate test for teams, with the chance to etch their names in history by sweeping all three tournaments—a feat known as the American Triple Crown.
