Puppy Derby (Irish greyhounds)


This page is about the Irish Greyhound Race. For the British race, see The Puppy Derby.
The Puppy Derby is a greyhound racing competition held annually at Shelbourne Park in Dublin, Ireland. The event switched to Shelbourne following the closure of Harold's Cross Stadium in the city district of Harold's Cross.
It is a major competition inaugurated in 1943 and is an integral part of the Irish greyhound racing calendar. The event is the Irish equivalent of the Puppy Derby held in the UK at Wimbledon Stadium. The competition restricted to puppies has a tradition for providing many stars of the future. Following the closure of Harolds Cross the event was switched to Shelbourne Park.
