The Rowe Cup is a race held annually at Alexandra Park, Auckland, New Zealand for standardbred horses.

The Rowe Cup is run over a distance of 3200 m. Along with the Dominion Handicap raced at Addington Raceway it is one of the major harness races for trotters rather than pacers.

The Rowe Cup is currently held in late May on the same night as the Auckland Cup and Northern Trotting Derby for 3 year old trotters.
