Following the recent approval from the Department of Agriculture to proceed with the development of a second all-weather track at Tipperary, Horse Racing Ireland has reallocated all 11 of the fixtures Tipperary was due to stage in 2026.

These fixtures and all associated races will return to Tipperary following construction of the all-weather track.

It is anticipated that work will commence on the new track in the first quarter of 2026, to be completed before the end of 2027, with a view to staging a full winter race programme there in 2027/'28.
