The North America Cup is a Grade I annual harness racing event for 3-year-old standardbred pacing horses which is held at Woodbine Mohawk Park in Campbellville, Ontario, Canada. [1] The race replaced the Queen City Pace run from 1964 to 1983. From 1984 to 1993, the North America Cup was held at Greenwood Raceway and from 1994 to 2006, the North America Cup was held at Woodbine Entertainment Group's other harness racing venue, Woodbine Racetrack. It is the co-richest harness race in North America at $1,000,000. [2] The race was named a Grade I when graded stakes classifications were introduced to harness racing in 2025.
