The Golden Jubilee Stakes is a Group 1 flat horse race in the United Kingdom open to thoroughbreds which are three-years-old or above. It is run over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres) at Ascot Racecourse, and it takes place annually during the Royal Ascot meeting in June.
It was first run in 1868 as the Cork and Orrery Stakes, named after the 9th Earl of Cork & 9th Earl of Orrery, who had been Master of the Buckhounds in 1866. The race kept this title until 2002, when it became a Group 1 and was renamed to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
It is now the third leg of the eight race Global Sprint Challenge series, preceded by the King's Stand Stakes and followed by the July Cup.
