Limerick is top dog when it comes to sporting spectacle and proof of this is the crowds attracted by the state of the art Greyhound Racing Stadium. Greyhound Racing has taken place in Limerick since 1932 and at the new Stadium on the Dock Road since 2010. A night at the dogs provides live, adrenaline pumped entertainment. Top class facilities ensure it is comfortable to watch the action from inside and out. There is racing ever Saturday evening. Gates open at 6.30pm; the first race is approx. 7.45pm. All sorts of occasions are catered for such as family events, team nights, corporate functions, hen/stag parties and fundraisers for non-profit organisations. The friendly sales team at 061448080 are on hand to discuss further. The outdoor viewing area is floodlit and sheltered from the elements. The hospitality facilities are also exceptional. People can dine in The Leger Restaurant or in one of the two private Suites, while enjoying panoramic views of the racing action. There are four course set menus available as well as finger food packages and deals of the month. There is also a fast food facility on site. There are two bars. The Mezz Bar, so-called because it is located on the mezzanine level-provides a more relaxed and informal racing experience. The Markets Field Bar on the ground floor is a nod to the former home of Limerick greyhound racing from 1932 to 2010. Tote booths are strategically placed throughout the stadium. There is ample car parking available.

In Limerick, Limerick Greyhound Stadium stands as a prominent venue for racing enthusiasts. However, beyond the track, an initiative has been underway to promote sustainability and biodiversity on the site. Local artist Tom Collins was approached by the Head Office Marketing Team to discuss a mural project reflecting this commitment. Tom's proposal was simple yet impactful: a mural depicting the local landscape and wildlife, alongside a nod to Greyhound Racing Ireland and Limerick Greyhound Stadium's dedication to sustainability. Despite weather challenges, Tom and his team diligently prepared the wall, waiting for a suitable break to unveil their creation. As the deadline approached for the opening rounds of the Con & Annie Kirby Memorial 2024, the mural was completed. It showcased the stadium's surroundings, featuring birds, bats, and a greyhound, symbolising the coexistence of nature and racing. The unveiling served as a subtle reminder of the importance of environmental preservation amid the excitement of the races. The first night attendees admired the mural, appreciating its depiction of the local ecosystem and the stadium's commitment to sustainability. The hope is that the murals message will resonate beyond the confines of the stadium, sparking conversations about the importance of preserving biodiversity and supporting sustainable practices in the greyhound community. In the end, the mural will serve as more than just a decorative addition to the stadium walls. It became a symbol of collective responsibility, reminding everyone of the impact of their actions on the environment. Through Tom's artistry and the stadium's commitment to sustainability, a powerful message was conveyed.

“As good as the money certainly is, and I have to thank the McManus and Kirby families for their sponsorship, it’s the prestige of the competition and winning it which means most." To have a Con and Annie Kirby Memorial champion is truly something most of us can only dream of, and on Saturday night in Limerick Greyhound Stadium the dream came through for 17 year old Daniel O'Rahilly and Knockeen Dazzler.
