Cork Racecourse, also known as Cork Racecourse Mallow, is a horse racing venue at Mallow, County Cork, Ireland which stages both National Hunt racing and Flat racing. It is located 35 km north of Cork and 64 km from Limerick[1]

The course is right handed, one and a half miles round and has a straight sprint course of five furlongs.[2] In 2017 work commenced on an extension to the straight course which will make it one of only two seven furlongs straights in Ireland.[3]

The course was opened in 1924 and was originally known as Mallow Racecourse.[2] It is close to Buttevant and Doneraile, where the first steeplechase was supposedly run in 1752.[2]
