1xBet Ireland has today announced a significant new sponsorship agreement with Gowran Park Racecourse that will see the company sponsor 15 races across both National Hunt and Flat racing over the next 12 months.
The new partnership further demonstrates 1xBet Ireland’s growing commitment to Irish racing, following successful sponsorship agreements at both Punchestown and The Curragh. In addition to race sponsorship, 1xBet Ireland will also sponsor the Owners’ Lounge and the Stable Yard Canteen at Gowran Park, underlining its commitment not only to the sport itself, but also to the owners, trainers, stable staff, and racing professionals whose work is central to the success of Irish racing.
The sponsorship of the Stable Yard Canteen reflects a shared recognition of the importance of supporting the racing workforce and the facilities they rely on throughout the year. The sponsorship programme will span both the Flat and National Hunt seasons, providing year-round support to one of Ireland’s premier racecourses while enhancing the experience for owners, trainers, and stable staff alike.
Welcoming the announcement, Gowran Park General Manager Eddie Scally said:
“We are absolutely delighted to welcome 1xBet Ireland as a major new partner of Gowran Park. Their commitment to sponsoring 15 races over the coming year, together with their support of both our Owners’ Lounge and Stable Yard Canteen, demonstrates a genuine investment in Irish racing and the people who make our industry so special.
What particularly impressed us was 1xBet Ireland’s desire to support not only our race programme, but also the facilities used by owners, trainers, stable staff and racing professionals throughout the year. It is particularly encouraging to see a company that has already shown its support through partnerships with Punchestown and The Curragh continuing to invest in the sport. We look forward to working closely with the 1xBet Ireland team over the coming year.”
Speaking on behalf of 1xBet Ireland, company representative Ian Langstaff said:
“We are delighted to partner with Eddie and his team at Gowran Park as we continue to strengthen our presence within Irish racing. Gowran Park is a racecourse with a proud history and an outstanding reputation, making it an ideal partner for 1xBet Ireland.
We are particularly pleased to support both the Stable Yard Canteen and the Owners’ Lounge, recognising the importance of stable staff, trainers, owners and everyone involved in the sport. This partnership allows us to further support Irish racing, the people who work within the industry, and one of Ireland’s most respected racecourses. We look forward to a successful relationship with Gowran Park over the coming seasons.”
The first 1xBet Ireland-sponsored races at Gowran Park will take place on Friday, August 7th, with race sponsorships scheduled throughout both the Flat and National Hunt seasons over the next 12 months.
This agreement is part of 1xBet Ireland’s long-term strategy to support Irish sport and local communities. In 2026, the brand continues to expand its partnership network in Ireland through investments in horse racing, greyhound racing, and other local sporting initiatives across the country.
