The 2000 New Zealand Grand Prix event for open wheel racing cars was held at Pukekohe Park Raceway near Auckland on 2 December 2000. It was the forty-sixth New Zealand Grand Prix and was open to Formula Holden cars. This was the first time the marque event had been held at the Pukekohe circuit since 1991, and following the demolition of the circuit in 2023, it would also prove to be the last time the event would be held here.
The race was won by New Zealand driver Andy Booth driving a Reynard 95D belonging to the Arthur Abrahams-run NRC International. Booth's teammate Matt Halliday finished second ahead of Australian driver Paul Dumbrell finished third.
The event was also the final race of that years Tasman Cup. It would also prove to be the final race in the revived Tasman Series established in 1998 for Formula Holden as it would be discontinued for 2001.
