Under the agreement, 1xBet, an officially licensed betting brand operating in Ireland, will sponsor a series of national tours featuring events at 14 racecourses across the country. The bookmaker has also become the title sponsor of the prestigious Irish St. Leger race at Limerick Greyhound Stadium.

The national tour series kicks off on February 14 in Youghal and will run throughout the year. Detailed information on the venues and dates of individual tours will be communicated through each racing team’s offices.

A key point in the contract is support for the Irish St. Leger, one of the oldest and most renowned races in the sport. Under the new partnership, the Irish St. Leger will return to its regular schedule, with the final being held at Limerick Greyhound Stadium on November 21, 2026. The winner will receive a prize of €30,000.

A 1xBet representative expressed the company’s view regarding the prospects for collaboration with Greyhound Racing Ireland: “We are delighted to join this global event as the title sponsor of the prestigious St. Leger race, which will be held at the legendary Limerick Greyhound Stadium. Together with the organisers, we will give new impetus to its development and make this important event a highlight of the Irish racing season.”

1xBet Ireland is a legal betting operator licensed by the state regulator. This status guarantees timely payouts, access to the most reliable payment systems, fast withdrawals, and the highest level of customer service. The company is strengthening its position in the region, so its partnership with Greyhound Racing aligns with its long-term strategy to support sports in Ireland.

In turn, Tim Lucey, CEO of Greyhound Racing Ireland, commented on the deal:

“We are delighted to welcome 1xBet Ireland as a new partner to Greyhound Racing Ireland. This agreement reflects a shared ambition to support and promote top-class racing at both national and local levels.”
