The Wirral Juvenile Hurdle is a Listed National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain which is open to horses aged three years. It is run at Aintree over a distance of about 2 miles and 1 furlong (2 miles and 209 yards or 3,410 metres), and during its running there are nine hurdles to be jumped. The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year in December.

Prior to 2023 it was named the Summit Juvenile Hurdle. It was originally run at Lingfield Park on the same day as the December Novices' Chase and the two races were later run on the same day at Doncaster. The race carried Grade 2 status until the 2021 running. It was downgraded to a Listed race by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) in 2022. [1]

In April 2023 the BHA announced that the race would be moved to Aintree and run one week earlier as part of a restructure of the 2023/24 programme. [2] The race was given its present name in 2025.
