Singapore Airlines International Cup

The Singapore Airlines International Cup was a Group 1 flat horse race in Singapore open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It was run at Kranji over a distance of 2,000 metres (about 1¼ miles), in May each year. It has been discontinued from 2016 onwards.

It was established as an international event at the newly opened Kranji Racecourse in 2000. This was after the Singapore Derby had lost its international status, and was restricted to domestic horses only. The event was sponsored by Singapore Airlines since its inception, and it attained Group 1 status in 2002.

The last Cup race was run in 2015 and was discontinued thereafter.
