The Queen's Cup, formerly King's Cup, is a horse race run in different locations across Australia from 1927 in most years until the present day. It was originally held in each of the six states of Australia in rotation each year, but has not been held in strict rotation in recent decades. The length of the race is 2,400 m (1.5 mi), and since the 1990s it has been a Group 3 race. As of 2022, the most recent race was run in March 2022 at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse in Sydney.
