The New Zealand Oaks is a Group 1 Thoroughbred horse race for three-year-old fillies run at set weights over a distance of 2400 metres (<templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1+1⁄2 miles) on the third Saturday of March every year at Trentham Racecourse in Wellington, New Zealand.

It was run at Riccarton until 1972[1] and over the distance of <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />1+1⁄4 miles to 1974.

As of 2025 it is raced on the same day as the:

  • Cuddle Stakes (Group 3, 1600m) for fillies and mares.
  • New Zealand St. Leger (2500m).
  • Wellington Guineas (Group 2, 1400m) for 3-year olds,
  • Lightning Handicap (listed open, 1200m).

The Levin Classic (1600m) for 3-year horses was raced on the Oaks race-day in 2022 and 2023, but was returned to January.
