Horse Racing Ireland, a privately owned entity headquartered in Ireland, was founded in 2001 and employs approximately 180 individuals. The company operates primarily in riding and animal sports, functioning as the national authority for the overall administration, development, and promotion of horse racing in Ireland.
On September 24, 2026, Horse Racing Ireland announced the redevelopment of Tipperary racecourse to include a new all-weather track, Ireland’s second such facility, which will stage its opening fixture on October 23, 2027. The track will host nine fixtures next year, representing a strategic investment in all-weather racing and increased opportunity for racing stakeholders. This project received government approval last year, allowing HRI to borrow €34 million for its construction. Earlier, on September 21, 2026, Horse Racing Ireland observed strong participation from trainers and owners for the Guinness Kerry National, scheduled for the upcoming Wednesday, highlighting the race as the centerpiece of the Harvest Festival, a tradition Guinness has sponsored since 1964.
