World Series of Polo

Founded in 2000, Major League Polo's World Series of Polo Championship Title Event Series is comprised of female and male players from the MLP's National Polo Conference (NPC) and the American Polo Conference (APC) Regional Divisions.

Polo is one of the few sports wherein the athlete is given a performance rating which allows them to play evenly against other athletes, whether male or female, on the field based on their proficiency skill level. Major League Polo does not require a rating, as all players are deemed Pro level in MLP Conference Play.

Major League Polo was the first U.S. governing polo authority to establish and organize U.S. sports competitions between U.S. City-based pro polo sports teams in 2000 in a national format for grass polo. It is currently led by Kimberly Casey Carr, its Founder, President & CEO. She also serves as Creative Director for the organization’s Apparel Licensing division. www.kimberlycaseycarr.com

MLP is the sole governing authority for its U.S. City-designated pro Polo sports teams (PCs).
