Raffles Hotels & Resorts reaffirmes its association with the Rajasthan Polo Club for the second consecutive year through the continued sponsorship of the Raffles Sirmour Cup (14 goals), one of the highlight tournaments of the Jaipur Polo Season. For 2026, Raffles Jaipur and Raffles Udaipur come together as co-sponsors, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to heritage, sportsmanship, and gracious hospitality in India.
Scheduled to take place from 9–15 February 2026, the Raffles Sirmour Cup will once again bring together leading players, patrons, and polo enthusiasts to celebrate the enduring legacy of the sport in the Pink City.
