About Us

Where Coastal Heritage Meets Racing Tradition

For generations, Port Macquarie Race Club has been at the heart of the region’s social and sporting life. Our vision is to deliver exceptional race day experiences while honouring the heritage of thoroughbred racing in this stunning coastal setting.

Beyond the track, we’re proud to be part of the Port Macquarie community — hosting events, creating local partnerships, and welcoming visitors from across New South Wales to experience racing, hospitality, and connection. 

Club History

A Proud Racing Legacy Since 1845

Port Macquarie’s racing story began over 175 years ago, with local enthusiasts gathering to watch horses compete on the sand tracks near the Hastings River. Today, that same spirit of excitement and camaraderie lives on at our modern facilities.
