Ulster Grand Prix 2027

Ulster Grand Prix Set for 2027 Return :

Rumours have been circulating for a couple of days now about a return of the Ulster Grand Prix and it now has been confirmed that the Northern Ireland Government will be budgeting for around £400,00 over a ‘multi-year contract’ and that approximately 50% of that will be set aside for the UGP in order to make improvements around the circuit. However, and notably funding will not be provided for the racing itself.

So the Ulster is by no means back just yet, but this is the biggest step forward in ensuring bikes return to the Dundrod circuit.

The MCUI(UC) has also given a press release :

Motor Cycle Union of Ireland (Ulster Centre) Ltd
Press Release for 2027 “Ulster Grand Prix”
Press Release dated – 03/11/2025 @ 2.30PM

The MotorCycle Union of Ireland (Ulster Centre) Ltd over the last four months have engaged with many government departments, MLA’s, councils and agencies on “pure road racing” in Northern Ireland.

Road Racing between the hedges in Ireland has been attracting competitors and spectators since 1903 when the Governing Body was first established.

We have built a legacy around road racing over this period of time which has produced world class talents. 2026 will see five pure road race events in Northern Ireland, Cookstown 100, NW200, Tandragee 100, Armoy and the Mid Antrim 150 is back on the Calendar. This is a great upturn and promising for road racing since the covid pandemic which had a huge impact on everyone. We appreciate all the support and help from Department of Communities, SportNI and 2&4 Wheel over the years for the funding for much needed safety equipment.

Thinking ahead to 2027 our plan is to bring back probably the purest and most natural road race events in the world.
