Immerse your brand in the rich history of the Curragh, one of Ireland’s most prestigious racecourses. As a celebrated global sport, horse racing finds its esteemed venue at the Curragh, where tradition and excitement come together.
Horse racing is one of the world’s most celebrated sports and the Curragh is one of horseracing’s most esteemed venues. Located in the heart of the protected grasslands of the Curragh plains in County Kildare, Ireland, the Curragh racecourse is steeped in history and tradition.
The Curragh grandstand is comprised of stacked horizontal forms, crowned with a dramatic soaring roof which forms a heroic centrepiece that recognises the landscape in which it is set.
A brand rich in history, the Curragh Racecourse has been a prominent fixture for nearly 300 years, with the first recorded race meeting taking place in 1727. However, the legacy of the Curragh predates this, as its name translates to “the place of the running horse.” Evidence of chariot racing at the Curragh dates back to the third century. Today, as custodians of 5,000 acres of Europe’s oldest grasslands, the Curragh Racecourse is globally recognised and remains dedicated to preserving our heritage.
