The Sapphire Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in Ireland open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older.
It is run at the Curragh over a distance of 5 furlongs (1,006 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in July.
For several years it was registered as the Richard H. Faught Memorial Stakes.
It was renamed the Sapphire Stakes and promoted to Group 3 status in 2008.
[citation needed] The Sapphire Stakes was originally part of the Curragh's three-day Irish Derby Festival meeting.
