FAQs

About Dundalk Stadium Racecourse

Dundalk Stadium, located in County Louth, holds a unique position in Irish horse racing as the country’s only all-weather, floodlit racecourse. Opened in 2007, it replaced the old Dundalk racecourse and introduced a state-of-the-art 10-furlong Polytrack surface, allowing for year-round racing, particularly during the winter months when many turf courses are unraceable. The venue is also distinctive for being a dual-purpose facility, hosting both horse racing and greyhound racing on separate tracks within the same complex.

The modern facilities and consistent racing surface have made Dundalk a popular venue for trainers and jockeys across Ireland and the UK. The course hosts a busy schedule of fixtures, with its evening meetings under floodlights being a particularly popular feature. The left-handed, oval-shaped track is considered fair and galloping, providing a true test for competitors.

Throughout its calendar, Dundalk Stadium hosts several high-profile races that attract quality fields. Chief among these are the Group 3 Diamond Stakes and the Group 3 Mercury Stakes, both of which are key events in the Irish flat racing season. Other notable races include the Legacy Stakes and the Star Appeal Stakes, which contribute to the track’s reputation as a premier destination for competitive all-weather racing in Europe.
