NZ Cup and Show Week: $3 million up for grabs at Riccarton

This year's New Zealand Cup and Show Week at Riccarton Park is a highlight on Canterbury's social calendar. It will feature top-class racing, fashion, food and entertainment across three days - Saturday, November 5, Wednesday, Nov 9 and Saturday November 12. The last time a full crowd was allowed to attend NZ Cup Day due to Covid restrictions, numbers were limited and groups were restricted to pods of 100. Last year, with Covids restrictions only a thousand people attended the first two days and just 1500 on Cup day.
