History :
The first Tandragee 100 took place on Saturday 19th April 1958 and has been one of the most popular events on the annual racing calendar, always attracting top-class entries and huge spectator audiences. It was, on that first day, a 100 mile handicap race and over the 60 years it has taken place it has evolved into the prestigious event it is today.
There is a long tradition of sporting culture in Northern Ireland, not least of motorcycling. Promoted by the North Armagh Motorcycle & Car Club Ltd, the Tandragee 100 has been held on the same course between Markethill and Tandragee in the shallow hills of County Armagh since 1958 and has now developed into the best National Road Race in Ireland, with winners that include all the big names from Creith to Farquhar, two generations of Dunlops, as well as County Armagh’s local motorcycling hero Philip McCallen.
