Welcome to Cookstown Motor Club, one of Northern Ireland’s most active and friendly motorsport organisations, based in the heart of Mid-Ulster. With a proud history that stretches back more than seventy years, our club continues to promote and support all forms of motorsport, from grassroots events to competitive rallying, while fostering a welcoming community for enthusiasts, competitors, and volunteers alike.
A Proud Heritage
Cookstown Motor Club has a long and distinguished history, originally formed in the 1940s as part of the Cookstown and District Motor Cycle and Car Club. In 1970, a new club was established to promote navigation rallying and autotesting under the name Cookstown and District Motor Enthusiasts’ Club Ltd.
The club experienced a revival in its jubilee year of 1995, when enthusiasm was reignited and membership quickly grew. This resurgence led to the organisation of a variety of motorsport events, culminating in the club running its first competitive event in several years, a successful Autotest.
Following a recent period of rationalisation, the club is now known simply as Cookstown Motor Club Limited.
Our Motorsport Today
Over the past thirty years, Cookstown Motor Club has continued to grow in confidence and capability. Members have expanded the range of competitive events organised by the club, including Targa Rallies, Navigation Rallies, and Stage Rallies.
The club’s guiding principle is to provide competitors with excellent value for money, delivering well-organised, enjoyable, and competitive events that meet the highest standards of safety and sportsmanship. Cookstown Motor Club also takes pride in supporting other clubs across Northern Ireland, offering help and assistance throughout the year.
