The Prix Rothschild is a Group 1 race run under Weight For Age conditions for fillies and mares at Deauville conducted by France Galop.

The Prix Rothschild is run over 1600m. It was first run in 1929 and was won by Tivoli.

Being a mares race, the Prix Rothschild was originally the Prix d'Astarte with Astarte a fertility goddess.

The race was not run in 1940 during WWII and a few times afterwards. In those war years it was run at Longchamp and Le Tremblay.

In the last 20 years, fillies have won it 8 times and mares 12 times.
