The Saudi Arabia Royal Cup (Japanese サウジアラビアロイヤルカップ) is a Grade 3 horse race for two-year-old Thoroughbreds run in October over a distance of 1600 metres at Tokyo Racecourse.[1]

The race was first run as an open class race named Ichō Stakes from 1988 until 2014. In 2014, the race was established as an unrated graded stakes race while still retaining its old name. The race was first run under its current name in 2015 and was promoted to Grade 3 status in 2016.
