The Punchestown Festival is the major horse racing festival of the Irish National Season and is usually held annually in April. It is held the final week of April and the Festival is over 5 days, between Tuesday and Saturady inclusive. It is seen by many as the Irish version of the Cheltenham Festival and is run in a very similar format.
Punchestown Races were reorganised and reconstituted as 'Kildare and National Hunt Steeplechases' in 1861. The first day of the 1868 meeting attracted an estimated 150,000 spectators.
