The John Smith's Cup (known until 1998 as the Magnet Cup) is a flat handicap horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged three years or older. It is run at York over a distance of 1 mile 2 furlongs and 56 yards (2,063 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in July.
It has been sponsored by John Smith's Brewery since its inauguration in 1960, making it the longest running commercial sponsorship in flat racing.
