A horse racing venue in Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland, 25 km north-east of Tralee, 110 km north-west of Cork, and 80 km south-west of Limerick. It stages both National Hunt and Flat racing in July and September, founded in 1858 in County Kerry. It is also one of Ireland’s oldest and most successful racing festivals.

The origin of Listowel races can be traced back to an annual gathering at Ballyeigh, Ballybunion, when horse racing was part of the entertainment alongside games and faction fights (essentially organized gang fights). On June 24, 1834, the fighting eventually caused too much disruption, causing over 200 lay dead, and meetings at Ballyeigh were subsequently suspended, allowing the switch to Listowel to occur soon after.

It was in 1959, the Arrival of Macardle Moore Breweries as sponsors (subsequently part of Guinness UDV Ireland). Spring Meetings began in 1966, one day in March and Two days in April. In 1987, the Listowel Races supporters club was established. The Harvest Festival at Listowel remains one of the most significant weeks in the racing calendar, while the Kerry National Handicap Chase is the biggest race of the week.
