About

Limerick Racecourse (Greenmount Park) is one of Ireland’s premier horse racing destinations, hosting both flat and National Hunt events across a sweeping right‑handed oval that opened in October 2001. Situated just 6 km from Limerick city on the M20, the venue boasts world‑class facilities including a grandstand with a cantilevered truss roof, luxurious corporate hospitality suites, and the highly praised Panoramic Restaurant overlooking the track. The course offers a variety of racing throughout the year, featuring marquee events such as the Winter Hill‑Base hurdle, the Roden’s Pride novice hurdle, and the Faugheen novice chase, as well as family‑friendly races, ladies’ days and a four‑day Christmas festival complete with live bands. Visitors enjoy free car parking, a complimentary shuttle bus to the city on selected dates, and a range of catering options from reserved restaurant tables to private suite packages. Entry to each meeting is priced at €15 for adults with free admission for children under 12 and discounted rates for seniors and students. The racecourse also hosts non‑racing events, including the 2026 Irish Vintage Antiques Fair, which offers a modest admission fee of €5.
