The only racecourse in Dublin, Leopardstown plays host to many of the biggest races in the calendar, on the Flat, over hurdles and over fences. Racing throughout the year, Leopardstown is the venue for the opening day of Irish Champions Weekend, the Leopardstown Christmas Festival, the BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle and the Unibet Irish Gold Cup. A number of recognised Classic trials are held at Leopardstown each April and May and are as popular as the Bulmers Live at Leopardstown summer series of race meetings which feature live music in the enclosures once the action on the track has come to an end. The Group 1 QIPCO Irish Champion Stakes and the Group 1 Coolmore Matron Stakes are the major Flat events at the venue and both are run as part of Longines Irish Champions Weekend in September.
