The Western Australian Polo Association is the governing association of polo clubs in Western Australia.
History
The Western Australian Polo Association was founded in 1903. As polo historian Horace A.

The association is a member of the Australian Polo Federation. It comprises all polo clubs registered with the Australian Polo Federation which are based in Western Australia. Historically, this included polo clubs in the Goldfields-Esperance region, Cue or Geraldton and several other locations. However, it currently only comprises five polo clubs:
