Gymkhana Club
Registry
An ever-growing list of gymkhana clubs across the world. From colonial-era clubs to local sports teams and everything in between, we aim to document them all.
A League of Our Own
Gymkhana clubs originated as gentlemen's clubs in the British Raj, for their officers and administrators. Over time, they began allowing members of the local upper classes. Eventually, native gymkhana clubs sprang up, often restricted to a specific community.
Today, gymkhana clubs have largely moved on from their colonial and parochial roots. Some are gymkhanas purely in name, retaining either the social or the sports aspect. However, most still retain their original purpose of a social club with sporting facilities, or vice versa.
