Track Biography:
Kinsale Point to Point along with running a two-day premier race meeting at the end of the point-to-point season also hold an Autumn fixture.
It's a great family day out, the racetrack has superb viewing with food, drink and entertainment.
The first official record of a South Union Foxhounds point-to-point race dates from 1945, when it was held at Warner’s Cross. In 1947, the races moved to Ballinrea near Carrigaline.
In more recent years, the races were held at Cappagh, very close to Kinsale, with winter fixtures at Rochestown.
The races moved to Fort Arthur on the Old Head of Kinsale briefly before alighting on the current site at Farrangalway in 2007.
Kinsale is the gourmet centre of Ireland ! Don’t forget to plan for some seriously good food in one of Kinsale’s award-winning restaurants such as Fishy Fishy, Bastion, The Blue Hazen and Finns Table, to name a few.
There is plenty else to do with activities in Kinsale range from sightseeing and walking to adventure sports, arts and culture. Check out Kinsale.ie for full details of attractions like Charles Fort.
There’s something for everyone – did you know Kinsale people are environmental pioneers, leading the way as a “Transition Town”? Or that Kinsale marks the start of the famous Wild Atlantic Way?
The Kinsale meeting held in the Spring marks the end of the Point-to-Point season, where jockey and trainer championships are decided, and there is great rivalry with horses competing from as far afield as Northern Ireland. Sunday also features family entertainment, with a hound parade, dog show, pony rides and best-dressed competitions, topped off with a concert.

There will be a full day of free fun for kids!
Kinsale Point to Point gives free entry to to children who are accompanied by an adult. It’s a safe environment where the “smallies” are occupied leaving the “biggies to enjoy the racing.
Kinsale Races provides free inflatables for kids to burn off a bit of energy. The only bad news? Sorry, no adults… Turn into a tiger or pretend that tattoo – it’s their choice, and it washes off when you get home! Once they see the horses, most children want to “have a go” so we have safe ponies and handlers to give them an idea of what riding a horse is like.
Don’t forget to bring the dog!
Kinsale is a historic and picturesque town known for good food and entertaining nightlife. It’s a favourite holiday location with great craic to be had in the pubs and restaurants after the racing is over.
Kinsale is about half an hour’s drive from Cork City, so it makes a day at the races very accessible.
The best place to find accommodation is through Kinsale tourist office and the excellent Kinsale Chamber of Tourism website.
