The Queensland Cup (formerly known as the Albion Park Gold Cup) is one of two Group 1’s won and run over the staying trip in Queensland.
The 2025 Queensland Cup originally raced at Albion Park will be shifting to the new Queensland greyhound racing hub “The Q”
Queensland Cup odds are currently available at many of the top Australian greyhound betting sites, with these markets generally available a little closer to the race jumping.
The 2025 Queensland Cup field will be announced after the heats are run. ARG will update this page with the Queensland Cup field when it is available.
As it is a group 1 race offering a hefty winner’s purse, only the best stayers contest the QLD Cup series, meaning there is plenty of betting interest on both the heats and final.
All of our recommended bookmakers offer fixed odds betting for the final, allowing punters to shop around and find the best odds about their selected runner.
Most of our bookies also offer fixed odds betting on the heats, while some even offer all-in markets on the winner of the final prior to the running of the heats – giving you the chance to win big by snaring some inflated odds if you think you can spot the winner.
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.

Despite an ordinary beginning from box two, My Boy Brodie was able to work his way through a scrimmage on the first turn to sit in third spot with a lap to go. The blue fawn dog started his run down the back, unleashing a powerful finishing burst on the home turn to charge through along the inside to score by half a length over race favourite, Cyndie’s Magic (box six) in 42.17.
