The British Army Polo Association (APOLOA) was founded in 1998 to coordinate and encourage polo in the Army, both at home and abroad. The home of APOLOA is Tidworth where the Army Polo Grounds are based. In the UK, servicemen are integrated as members, within different polo clubs. The Association seeks to widen access, support and improve polo at all levels from novice, developing and senior and form teams up to +8 goals. Regiments and Corps form their own groups such as the RA, RE, Infantry, RLC, AGC and Staff College Shrivenham. RMAS is a stand-alone club but operates under the auspices of the Association.

The Reserves are fully integrated. The HAC and the OTCs have their own tournaments. The Association is registered with the Army Sport Control Board as a ‘Recognised’ Sport and is classed as an ‘Excepted Charity’. APOLOA mission is to encourage, support and organise polo throughout the Army at all levels, widen its membership and increase the opportunities to play the game in order to build and develop teamwork and leadership. APOLOA is proud to have Hackett and EFG Private Bank as associated partners who support the Association year on year.
