The New Zealand Trophy (Japanese ニュージーランドトロフィー) is a Japanese Grade 2 flat horse race in Japan for three-year-old Thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 1600 metres at Nakayama Racecourse in April.[1]

The New Zealand Trophy was first run in 1983, where it was held at Tokyo Racecourse, and was elevated to Grade 3 status in 1984 before being promoted to Grade 2 in 1987. From 1996, the race serves as a trial race for the NHK Mile Cup. Following the inauguration of the NHK Mile Cup in 1996, the race was moved to Nakayama and was shortened to 1400 meters, before returning to 1600m in 2000.[2]

Among the winners of the race have been Oguri Cap, Eishin Preston and El Condor Pasa.
