The Fergus O'Toole Memorial Novice Hurdle is a Grade 3 National Hunt novice hurdle race in Ireland which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Limerick over a distance of 2 miles and 5 furlongs (4,224 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in October.

The race was first run in 2001 and was awarded Grade 3 status in 2011. The race was sponsored by Newenham Mulligan Architects from 2001 to 2009. It was later named in memory of a local businessman, Fergus O'Toole, who died in 2010. The 2015 race was run as the Shannon Airport Christmas Racing Festival Novice Hurdle.
