Galway is a dual-purpose racecourse, located six miles outside of the city of Galway in a village called Ballybrit. The course is best known for the seven day long Galway Festival, which is one of the most famous racing festivals in the world. It's a mixed meeting, which attracts 150,000 spectators each year. The feature race is the Galway Plate, a 2m6f handicap chase held during the festival, which carries over €200,000 in prize money. The festival generally takes place between the last week in July and the first week in August.

Galway is a right-handed track with a circuit of just over a mile and a quarter. There is a steep incline to the finish, but unless the ground is particularly testing the track is essentially sharp in character. The finishing straight is short at little more than a furlong. A low draw at 7f and 1m 100yds is a slight advantage.

A right-handed track with a circuit of just over ten furlongs. There is a steep incline to the finish, but unless the ground is particularly testing the track is sharp in character, favouring handily-ridden horses. The chase course has seven fences to a circuit, with the final two fences very close together followed by a run-in of well over two furlongs. The hurdle course is laid out inside the chase course, until the final hurdle situated in the short finishing straight of little more than a furlong, and is even sharper in character than the chase course.
