A Brief History — When the Melbourne Cup Began
The Melbourne Cup was first held in 1861, with the inaugural winner being Archer. Since then the Cup has developed into one of the world’s premier staying races and is affectionately known as “the race that stops a nation.” The race takes place annually at Flemington Racecourse on the first Tuesday of November during the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.
Iconic moments in Cup history include legendary champions, landmark international winners and Makybe Diva’s remarkable three-peat (2003–2005). The Cup remains a cultural and sporting highlight for Victoria and Australia.
