Coffs Harbour Racecourse is located at Howard St, Coffs Harbour New South Wales, just 2 minutes drive from the centre of town and right next to the airport.
In 1946 the Coffs Harbour Jockey Club was formed on land allocated previously by the Crown for the purpose of a Coffs Harbour Racecourse.
In fact racing had occurred at the site prior to this time.
The Club's first President was Maxwell Eyles.
The facilities at Coffs Harbour Racecourse for trainers, officials and the public have significantly improved since this time with the most recent being the completion of one of Country New South Wales's premier public racing and entertainment facilities.
Coffs Harbour Jockey Club hosts 15 meetings per year at the Coffs Harbour Racecourse including the VB Gold Cup and the Sportsman Race Day in August.
