Urquhart Polo Cup

The fastest game on grass returns to Melbourne's west as the prestigious Urquhart Cup polo tournament reaches its crescendo at Werribee Park, with more than 50 competitors aged 13 to 73 battling for the silverware in Victoria's premier open-handicap event.

Families and thrill-seekers are invited to witness this mixed-gender team sport combining the speed of racing, the precision of golf and the physicality of rugby as international stars and Australia's best thunder across the manicured Melbourne Polo Fields vying for four historic trophies.

Gates open at 11:00 AM for the John Kelly Shield, followed by the Merrang Cup and Palmer Cup, before the championship final from late afternoon. Live commentary throughout the day will demystify the rules for newcomers.

Bring your picnic blanket and settle in on the field perimeter with a tailgating pass. You can bring your own food, or purchase snacks and refreshments from the clubhouse.
