FAQs

About Roscommon Racecourse

Roscommon Racecourse-often referred to by racegoers as the home of the Roscommon Park races-is located just outside Roscommon town in County Roscommon, Ireland, and it stages both Flat and National Hunt (jumps) fixtures across a compact summer programme.

Racing history here stretches back to the 1800s, with recorded meetings taking place in 1837 and official racing commencing in 1885, followed by a notable hiatus between 1936 and 1948 before the modern era of regular fixtures.

On-track, Roscommon is widely described as a right-handed oval with sharp turns and a notable run-in, and its calendar is anchored by popular social days like Ladies Day alongside standout races such as the Lenebane Stakes and the Kilbegnet Novice Steeplechase.
