About Us

Founded in 1873 Cambridge University Polo Club (CUPC) is the oldest polo club in Europe and lays claim to the oldest continuing polo fixture in the world - The Varsity Polo Match. CUPC is a polo club for undergraduates and postgraduates (primarily), as well as staff and alumni, of the University of Cambridge. CUPC is comprised of a diverse and inclusive group of ambitious and motivated individuals, from all corners of the globe and a broad range of professional and academic disciplines. Proudly sponsor by leading polo brand, La Martina, CUPC caters for players of all levels, from those who have never ridden before to those with a professional handicap.
