Gurkha Cup Polo

The Gurkha Cup Polo is a fixture within the Justerini & Brooks Prince of Wales Trophy at The Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club.

This is high-goal polo played at the 22-goal handicap level — the very top tier of the sport. Often described as the Formula 1 of polo.

What you are watching is not entry-level — it is the highest handicapped and most skilful players in the world, mounted on the finest strings of ponies, representing the leading teams: raw horsepower, strategy, precision, and relentless speed.

For over 200 years, the Gurkhas have served with unmatched bravery, loyalty, and distinction.

The Gurkha Cup Polo honours this extraordinary legacy by bringing together those who share in the values of courage, integrity, and excellence.

Through sport, we celebrate the bonds forged in service and the enduring spirit that defines the Gurkha tradition & the Brigade of Gurkhas.
