Beginning in the 1960’s the Darwin Greyhound Association Inc. (DGA) is the only registered greyhound race track in the Northern Territory, and regards itself as industry leader in the trainer, racing and welfare of greyhounds.

DGA conducts approximately 60 race meetings a year with the feature event being the $45,000 Darwin Cup conducted in early August.

Greyhound racing is a major contributor to the local economy with 20 registered trainers and approximately 150 racing greyhounds trained in the Northern Territory. Along with 15 staff employed each week to conduct race meetings, further investment is generated by betting turnover both on and off track.

DGA is a strong supporter of rehoming retired greyhounds with procedures and practices put in place to support owners and trainers to work with welfare agencies in this area.
