LOCATION Click Here for Directions

Fairyhouse is the home of one of Irelands best sporting occasions, THE IRISH GRAND NATIONAL, this year won by Commanche Court, held over the Easter Bank holiday this is truly a great spectator event which always draws a huge crowd. Easter Monday and Fairyhouse are synonomous. The Jameson Irish Grand National is always held on Easter Monday, which means that the race can be held in March but more frequently sometime early in April.

The facilities at the course are excellent, the new grandstand provides good viewing over the whole course, the catering and bar service is good and of a high standard.
With the course being located very close to Dublin, see map above for exact location, all fixtures are well attended, especially the December Meetings.
Dundalk would be one of Ireland's least known racing venue's but is well worth a visit to one of the well attended fixtures listed below. Especially the evening meetings in June and July.
