The Solerina Mares Novice Hurdle is a Grade 3 National Hunt hurdle race in Ireland which is open to mares aged four years or older. It is run at Fairyhouse over a distance of 2 miles and 2 furlongs (3,621 metres) and during the race there are ten hurdles to be jumped. The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year in late January.

The race was first run in 2011 and was awarded Grade 3 status in 2014.

In 2014 the race was renamed in honour of Solerina,[1] the Irish mare who won 22 races between 2002 and 2006. The 2016 running was sponsored by Coolmore Stud and run as the Coolmore N.H. Sires Mares Novice Hurdle.
