The 2026 Roma Cup is shaping up as one of the biggest and most anticipated country racing events in Queensland, where great racing, great people and an unforgettable atmosphere come together.

Join us trackside at Bassett Park on Saturday 21 November for a full day of country racing at its best, featuring a great race programme with fantastic prize money, live entertainment, Queensland’s hottest betting ring, Fashions on the Field, ice-cold drinks and premium hospitality.

Whether you’re there to back a winner, entertain clients, catch up with mates or simply soak up one of Queensland’s great country sporting occasions, the 2026 Roma Cup is a day you won’t want to miss.

There’s plenty happening both on and off the track, with food trucks, bars and hospitality areas to enjoy throughout the day, along with the Fashions on the Field competition, hosted by Grace Hayden.

For those looking for a cooler way to enjoy Cup Day, the air-conditioned Cup Start Marquee offers a comfortable option to combat the heat while still enjoying the racing action. Your ticket includes general admission, access to the marquee, complimentary finger food and a private marquee bar. With views of the track and an on-site bookmaker, you can keep an eye on the racing while enjoying the atmosphere of Roma Cup Day.

As the sun sets and the last horse has run its race, the celebrations continue with Reece Mastin and his live band playing all the favourites at the Roma Cup after-party. Head back to the main area from 6pm and enjoy the entertainment well into the night!
