TheGreenwich Cup formerly the Greenwich Stakes, was a greyhound racing competition held annually from 1938 until 2003.
It was inaugurated atNew Cross Stadium by theGreyhound Racing Association following their acquisition of the stadium in January 1938.[1]
Following the closure of New Cross in 1969, it switched toCharlton Stadium.[2] It only survived two years at Charlton because it also closed and the race found its final home atCatford Stadium in 1972.[3] When theGreyhound Racing Association shut down Catford in 2003 the race was discontinued.[4]
