  The Irish Field is an Irish bloodstock, racing and sport horse publication. Established in 1870 and originally known as the Irish Sportsman and Farmer, it was published by The Irish Times from the 1930s until 2013. The publication was acquired by The Agricultural Trust, owners of the Irish Farmers Journal, in July 2003.
