The Race of Champions is a greyhound racing competition held annually at the Kingdom Greyhound Stadium in Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland.

The competition has been sponsored by Boylesports since 2012 and serves as a major fundraiser for the Kerry GAA training fund while showcasing how the greyhound industry plays a pivotal role in the local community.

It was inaugurated in 2008 and therefore is a relatively new event but due to the significant winners prize money on offer (€15,000 in 2016) it stands as a feature event in the Irish racing calendar. The event offers one of the richest prizes for a one-off race.
