The Trafalgar Cup was a greyhound racing competition for puppies under the age of two. It is the oldest puppy competition in the racing calendar.
It was first contested at Wembley Stadium from 1929 until 1998, but when the Wembley Greyhounds ended it moved to Oxford Stadium in 1999 and then on to Monmore Green Stadium in 2015 until 2019.
