Ellerslie's where you’ll want to be on Tuesday 4 November.
Auckland’s only Melbourne Cup event with live racing on the track, not just the screen.
New Zealand’s largest Melbourne Cup Day event returns to the ‘Big E’, bringing the thrill of live racing, top-tier hospitality, fashion, the iconic race from Flemington on the big screen and a party like nowhere else.
Whether you’re toasting with Champagne in a hospitality precinct, getting amongst in The Hill Lawn or spending the day your way in public areas on course, this is the Melbourne Cup Day experience Auckland talks about.
Timings are approximate and subject to change.
Dress to impress as there'll be something special in store for the best dressed on course.
Come 5pm the race of everyone's lips, the 2025 Lexus Melbourne Cup, will be screened live from Flemington for all to see.
After the last race, racegoers are invited to keep the party going with us in Cuvée 'til later.
Entry conditions apply.
