The event is named after the Firth of Clyde, an area of water off the coast of Ayr. For a period it held Listed status, and it was promoted to Group 3 level in 2004. It is now the only Group race in Scotland.
The Firth of Clyde Stakes is held during the three-day Ayr Gold Cup Festival (previously known as the Western Meeting). It is currently run on the final day, the same day as the Ayr Gold Cup.
