The '''Tanner Cup''' is a [New Zealand](/source/New_Zealand) youth inter-provincial sailing competition. One under 17 year old sailor from each region competes in [P Class](/source/P-class_sailing_dinghy) yachts.

The competition is named after [George Tanner](/source/George_Tanner_(sailor)), who donated the trophy, and was first sailed in 1945. Many of New Zealand's top sailors have competed in and won the Tanner Cup, including [Russell Coutts](/source/Russell_Coutts), [Dean Barker](/source/Dean_Barker_(yachtsman)), [Adam Minoprio](/source/Adam_Minoprio) and [Jo Aleh](/source/Jo_Aleh).

The national open P Class competition for the [Tauranga Cup](/source/Tauranga_Cup) is normally sailed at the same venue.
