The polo world has seen its first ray of hope as the HPA announced an updated calendar on Friday, showing that action could possibly start in mid June. And of course, men’s polo won’t be alone in this – women’s polo continues to grow around the world. More and more female tournaments develop internationally while many have now become an established part of the international polo circuit. This year will mark the fourth time England host the Victrix Ludorum, a series of seven female tournaments for 18-goal teams (ladies handicap), with some of them also hosting 12-goal competitions, simultaneously.

The clubs to host the 2020 Victrix Ludorum are Black Bears, Knepp Castle, Cowdray Park, Cirencester Park, Beaufort, Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club, and Guards.
