Bouley Bay Hill Climb is a hillclimbing event held in Trinity, Jersey, and organised by The Jersey Motor Cycle and Light Car Club.[1] The course on Les Charrières du Boulay was "first used for competition in 1921"[2] and since 1947 has hosted a round (latterly two rounds) of the British Hill Climb Championship.

Of the 1947 event Raymond Mays said: "My E.R.A.'s time counted as a record because, although it was slower than the figure set the previous year by Bainbridge's 1½-litre E.R.A., the 1947 climb was run for the first time from a standing start."[3]

The 2008 meeting included rounds 17 and 18 of the British Hill Climb Championship, both being won by Scott Moran.[4]
