Point-to-Point racing is an amateur version of National Hunt racing or the Steeplechase. The name Point-to-Point refers to the points of the church steeples that the horses used to follow during a race. Nowadays, the difference between point-to-point races & steeplechases is that point-to-point races are run cross country, while steeplechases tend to be run on tracks.
