History
The event was created by the Société d'Encouragement in 1921. The organisation had taken over the duties of the Société des Courses de Deauville upon the death of its chairman Jacques Le Marois the previous year. The race was named after the nearby commune of Cabourg, and it was initially contested over 1,200 metres.
Deauville Racecourse was closed during World War II, and the Prix de Cabourg was not run from 1940 to 1945. It was cut to 900 metres in 1955, and its distance was frequently modified in the period thereafter. For brief spells it was contested over 1,000 metres (1956–57, 1961–64), 1,200 metres (1958–1960), 1,400 metres (1965–1970) and 1,300 metres (1971). Its present length, a return to 1,200 metres, was introduced in 1972.
For a period the Prix de Cabourg was classed at Listed level. It was promoted to Group 3 status in 1988.
