History

The event is named after Calvados, the department in which Deauville is located. It was established in 1970, and it was initially contested over 1,300 metres. It was extended to 1,400 metres and given Group 3 status in 1977.

The Prix du Calvados is currently the first Group race of the year in France exclusively for two-year-old fillies. It was sponsored by PMU since 2013 and by Longines from 2014 to 2016. The race was upgraded from Group 3 to Group 2 in 2018.
