The Auckland Trotting Cup or Auckland Cup is a race held at Alexandra Park in March in Auckland New Zealand for Standardbred horses. It is one of two major harness races along with the New Zealand Cup held in New Zealand each year. It is notable as it is a Group 1 championship race over distance of 2700 m and has been won by nearly every champion pacer in New Zealand. The race is currently run over 2700 metres from a mobile start. Prior to that it was a 3200 metres handicap race.
