The Hurlingham Polo Association (HPA) is the governing body for polo in the UK, Ireland and many other countries throughout the world. As such, it is responsible for the regulations and rules under which the game is played. This includes the handicapping of any one playing in the U.K. or Ireland, and the fixtures list. The object of the HPA is to further the interests of polo generally and support by all possible means the common interests of its affiliated clubs and associations.
In 2004, the HPA became an incorporated company limited by guarantee. The directors of the company are the Stewards who form an executive committee which meets usually four times a year. The members of the company are the elected Council representatives of the affiliated clubs and associations. The Council meets twice a year, in December and in May for the AGM and approval of the accounts.
Beneath the Stewards, the following sub committees have specific responsibilities to the Stewards as indicated by their headings:
Handicap, Development, Coaching, International, Finance and Grants, Umpire and Rules, Umpire Grading, Disciplinary, Polo Pony Welfare, and Arena.
Each sub committee will usually be chaired by a Steward.
The day to day management of the HPA is run from the office at Little Coxwell, near Faringdon in Oxfordshire.
