Randwick Racecourse is Crown Land[2] leased to the Australian Turf Club and known to many Sydney racegoers as headquarters.

The racecourse is located about six kilometres south-east from the Sydney Central Business District in the suburb of Randwick.

[4] Since 2014, Randwick hosts The Championships, a two-day season-ending meeting in April that offers over AUD$20 million in prize money.

[5] It features several Group 1 races such as the Australian Derby, Doncaster Handicap and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

[8] On 22 February 1992, Queen Elizabeth II visited Randwick Racecourse[9] and opened the Paddock Stand.

Her Majesty was particularly glad that she was able, on this occasion, to legitimise your traditional title of "Royal" and to open a very handsome new Grandstand."

In 1970, Pope Paul VI celebrated mass at Randwick[10] as part of his pastoral visit to Australia.

The Racecourse was also the site of a mass held by Pope John Paul II in 1995 for the Beatification ceremony of Australia's first potential saint Mary MacKillop.

This move had been opposed by the Randwick Trainers Association, which holds lease interests over some areas intended to be used for the event.

Originally constructed in 1969, it was torn down to its bare structure and rebuilt into the current state in 2012 and reopened to the public in 2013.

[21] The Tea House was a large structure at 50m long, 27m wide and two storeys high and could accommodate 1,000 racegoers.
