Killarney and Cork racecourses have agreed to swap fixtures to avoid a clash with the Munster football final.
A request by Killarney Racecourse has been approved by the Horse Racing Ireland Fixtures Committee to move their National Hunt fixture on Sunday, 10 May with a similar fixture at Cork the day before.
The Munster Football final will take place on 10 May.
The Kingdom are expected to reach the Munster final, having only missed one since 2009, and it is likely it will be a home fixture in Fitzgerald Stadium in Killarney.
Killarney Racecourse manager Karl McCay said: "I would just like to offer our appreciation to everyone at Cork Racecourse for switching days with us that weekend in May.
"There is a lot of football to be played before May but once the dates were confirmed we thought it best to be proactive and seek a swap with Cork. A Munster final in Killarney on the same day as a race meeting would have had a significant impact on stable staff travelling horses, as well as on connections, other industry staff and racegoers intending to be there.
"Swapping the dates at this juncture was the easiest and most pragmatic solution, so thanks again to our friends at Cork and to the HRI Fixtures Committee for accommodating this request."
