Irish Greyhound of the Year Awards
This page is about the Irish Greyhound Awards. For the British awards, see Greyhound of the Year Awards.
The Irish Greyhound of the Year Awards are the annual awards for the leading greyhounds in Ireland.
The Greyhound of the Year award was first held in 1965 when it was won by Ballyowen Chief.[1] In 1996 the awards saw the Greyhound of the Year replaced by a Dog and Bitch of the Year Award [2] but in 2013 the Greyhound of the Year award returned in addition to the other awards.[3]
The 2016 awards are yet to take place following a postponement.[4]
