Dundalk racecourse

Dundalk Stadium, Ireland’s first and only all-weather racecourse with floodlights, was fully remodeled and reopened in 2007. Situated just north of Dundalk in County Louth, it is Europe’s only dual racecourse, hosting both horse and greyhound racing. The modern 10-furlong track features a wax-coated synthetic surface called ‘polytrack,’ and the extensive stable block can house up to 130 horses.

With 43 fixtures throughout the year, Dundalk is especially busy during the winter months, staging flat racing weekly from late October to mid-March. Notable races include the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Diamond Stakes, the Pat Smullen Mercury Stakes (G3), and the Irish EBF Listed Cooley Stakes.

The stadium’s modern grandstand and elevated viewing areas offer spectacular race views. With a variety of hospitality packages and restaurants, Dundalk Racecourse is a popular destination for locals and racing fans alike, providing a fantastic night out.
