'''Legacy Cup''' is a flat horse race in Great Britain open to horses aged three years or older. It is run at Newbury over a distance of 1 mile and 3 furlongs (2,213 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in September.
The event was established in 1997, and the inaugural running was won by Posidonas. It initially held Listed status, and was promoted to Group 3 level in 2004. It was previously known as the Arc Trial but rarely served as a trial for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. The race lost its Group 3 status when it was removed from the Pattern and Listed race programme in 2023.<ref>{{cite web |title=Update from the BHA’s Flat Pattern Committee |url=https://www.britishhorseracing.com/press_releases/update-from-the-bhas-flat-pattern-committee/ |publisher=British Horseracing Authority |access-date=3 March 2023 |date=18 January 2023}}</ref>
