Circuit of Ireland Rally

The annual circuit of Ireland rally starts at 11am on Easter Saturday (April 3rd) in Dundalk. It then winds it way across Down, Monaghan and Armagh before finishing in Newry on Easter Sunday. 135 competitors are expected to take part in the 15 stage event. The event is one of the highlights of the Irish rally season and is expected to attract fans from every part of Ireland.

The roads around Smarmore Castle formed part of the route a number of years ago. However the castle could be an ideal base to stay for anyone travelling from the South who is looking for accommodation near Dundalk. It takes less than 30 minutes to drive from here to the centre of Dundalk.
