Since its inception in 1929, the annual North West 200 has not only established itself as one of the fastest motorcycle road races in the world but it has also grown into Ireland’s largest outside sporting event

Named due to its initial intended location and its original distance (200 miles), the North West 200 has been hosted by the Coleraine & District Motor Club since 1964.

The event takes place on the ‘Triangle’ circuit and consists of several separate races and categories, including Superbike and Supertwin.

Northern Ireland’s Alastair Seeley has recorded the highest number of victories at the event, managing to win 21 times.
