Ipswich in Winter 2026

SUPERCARS AND IPSWICH CUP TO HEAT UP WINTER WITH COUNCIL SUPPORT

Council is sponsoring the 2026 Ipswich Cup, attended by almost 13,000 people last year.

The hottest tickets this winter will be in Ipswich with council backing two of the city’s most iconic events: Century Batteries Ipswich Super 440 and the Ipswich Cup. Council is providing up to $50,000 in funding for the Supercars and $25,000 for the Ipswich Cup, a win for the city’s tourism, events and hospitality industries. Supercars returned to Queensland Raceway in Willowbank last year for the first time since 2019, bringing excitement to the city. This year’s event will run from

21 to 23 August. The historic Ipswich Cup remains the highest attended event of the Queensland Racing Winter Carnival and will be held on 20 June this year. It attracts about 13,000 people with more than half coming from outside Ipswich. The Century Batteries Ipswich Super 440 and Ipswich Cup highlight Ipswich’s status as a major events city.
