The Great Northern Hurdles is one of New Zealand's feature jumping races.
The Great Northern Hurdles is now raced on the same day as the Great Northern Steeplechase.
For most of its life the race was run over 4190m at Ellerslie Racecourse in Auckland.
The race is no longer held at Ellerslie after the Auckland Racing Club sold land for housing development.
[1] From 2022 the race has been held at Te Rapa over 4200m.
