The Rallye de Nouvelle-Calédonie is a rallying event held in the French island of New Caledonia.
That first rally was won by Australian driver John Keran driving a Volvo 122S.
In 2000 the rally was dropped from the APRC but returned in 2001 and has been part of the regional championship ever since, although the 2003 event was abandoned due to heavy rain.
The event is known for its treacherous conditions as when wet the forest roads turn to mud quickly and it quite steep as it climbs the volcanic spine of the island.
With its strong French culture the island rally has a different atmosphere from the East Asian and Australasian legs of the APRC.
