Polo at Chantilly, the ultimate holiday experience
The 2025 polo season is set to make a grand return to the pristine grass fields of the Chantilly Polo Club, kicking off on 5 April with the first tournament of the year. But the real action begins in June, as Chantilly plays host to the prestigious Polo Nations Cup from 12 to 22 June—this time with an exciting new addition: a women’s edition, running from 18 to 22 June.
This year, the French team will be in the spotlight, taking on Brazil in a high-stakes test match on 14 July. They will also fight to defend their title at the Arena World Championships Play-offs, hoping to repeat their 2023 victory in Argentina. And as summer fades into autumn, Chantilly will once again be the stage for one of the most anticipated events in European polo: the French Open, running from 3 to 21 September, with both mixed and women’s tournaments crowning the season.
Beyond the sport itself, Chantilly is a venue like no other. Nestled in the heart of horse country, this historic town is synonymous with equestrian excellence. Home to the Chantilly Racecourse and the Living Museum of the Horse, it has long been a sanctuary for equestrian sport and culture. With its lush fields, elegant château, and deep-rooted connection to the world of horses, Chantilly offers a polo experience that is as breathtaking as it is exhilarating.
For those who love fast-paced action, elite horsemanship, and a setting steeped in history, the 2025 Chantilly polo season promises unforgettable moments both on and off the field.
