Northern Puppy Derby

The Northern Puppy Derby is a greyhound racing competition held annually at Newcastle Stadium. The race is confined to puppies (greyhounds under the age of two years old).

It was inaugurated in 1994 at Sunderland Stadium but was switched to sister track Newcastle in 2010. The event was traditionally held in October but from 2022 was held during February.
