Hurlingham Club History

Hurlingham Club History dates to 1888, making it 30 years older than the #8 Triple Crown Tournament, and a bastion of Argentine polo. Its 12 polo fields span 200 hectares, hosting 50 matches annually with an average attendance of 8,000 spectators per event. The club's membership includes 400 active players, a figure 60% higher than the average club nationwide. Founded by British immigrants, it set the 20-goal handicap system, a standard still used today, solidifying its authority in the sport.
