Punchestown is one of Ireland’s top National Hunt racecourses and stages a big five-day Festival at the end of each season in late April.

Punchestown has a long tradition of horse racing dating back to 1824 and boasts modern facilities following a £9m re-development in 1998.

The race track is an undulating 2 mile right-handed oval. There is also a cross country banks course containing stone walls, grass banks, brush fences and hurdles. This course is jumped in both directions.
