Melbourne Cup Day

Join us for the race that stops two nations

We hope you can knock off work early and join us at Ellerslie for the only Melbourne Cup Day event in Auckland that will have LIVE horse racing. Beats a Tuesday in the office, that's for sure!

Back at Ellerslie for 2024, we will once again see this memorable event return to the Big E where guests can enjoy the thrill of the races in front a backdrop of some great hospitality.

In addition to the on-site racing, live coverage will be broadcast direct from Flemington with the big race – the Lexus Melbourne Cup – screened live for all to see.

So whether you sip Champagne in one of our hospitality precincts or do it your way in general admission, we hope you can join us for the afternoon and enjoy Auckland’s most authentic Melbourne Cup event.
