History of the Queensland Cup (Albion Park Gold Cup)

The Queensland Cup was inaugurated back in 1974 when taken out by Captain Winter. Back then, racing was still held at the Gabba, with the event known as the Gabba Gold Cup until 1980, when major sponsorship was taken over by SGIO and Woolworths for one year apiece.

It switched back to its original name between 1981 and 1988, when it was then called the FAI Gold Cup for four years, before being rebranded as the Albion Park Gold Cup when racing moved to the Brisbane circuit in 1993.

However, in 2020, the name was then changed to Queensland Cup to better reflect its significance within the state’s greyhound racing calendar. This change aimed to honour the event’s rich history and its role in showcasing Queensland’s premier greyhound talent.

Since its inception the race has been won by some of the greatest stayers the sport has seen such as Mandarin Girl (1977), Miss Cruise (1995), Boronia Blossom (1996), Miss Brook (2006), Miss Grub (2007), Chinatown Lad (2008), Queen Lauryn (2009), Nellie Noodles (2010), Destini Fireball (2013), Xylia Allen (2014) and Fanta Bale (2017) while Dotie Wilson is the only greyhound to have won the event twice, claiming the title in 1975 and 1976 respectively.
