History

The event was formerly held at Leopardstown, and for a period it was classed at Listed level. It used to be run over a distance of 1 mile.

The race was promoted to Group 3 status and cut to 7 furlongs in 2003. It was transferred to Fairyhouse in 2009.

The Brownstown Stakes was run at Naas in 2012, after being abandoned twice at Fairyhouse due to a waterlogged course.
