Tipperary Racecourse is a left-handed, flat, oval track. The track for flat races measures a mile and two furlongs in length. A straight track of five furlongs joins with the main track at the entrance to the two and a half furlongs straight. National Hunt measures a circuit of about nine furlongs in extent. It is generally galloping in character. The chase course is set out inside the hurdles track with six fences to a circuit and two in the home straight of two and a half furlongs; the run-in is around a furlong. The chase course, which is set out on the inner of the hurdle course, is sharper and has six fences. One down the side, three down the back, and two in the two and a half furlongs home straight with a run for home of just over a furlong.
