HRI’s new Tipperary all-weather track to host first race in Oct 2027
Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) has announced nine fixtures at its new all-weather track in Tipperary, with the inaugural race meeting scheduled for October 23, 2027. The project received government approval to borrow €34 million to complete construction. The plan adds a second all-weather facility in Ireland and forms part of HRI’s 2027 fixture list, which totals 396 racing dates nationwide.
What’s happening and when
HRI revealed a schedule of nine fixtures at the new Tipperary all-weather track, culminating in its first meeting on October 23, 2027. The facility is Ireland’s second all-weather racing circuit. The 2027 calendar will have 396 racing dates across the country, six more than this year.
Who is affected
The move primarily affects racecourse operators, trainers, jockeys, and betting industry stakeholders connected to Irish racing. Local communities in Tipperary may experience economic activity around race days, though specific local impacts (such as jobs or traffic changes) are not detailed in the source.
Practical next steps
Key dates to watch: October 23, 2027, as the inaugural meeting at the Tipperary all-weather track. The project previously secured government approval to borrow €34 million to finish construction, so updates may focus on construction milestones, safety certifications, and fixture planning for 2027-28.
