Lonsdale Cup - is awarded annually by the New Zealand Olympic Committee to a competing New Zealand athlete (or team) who has demonstrated the most outstanding contribution to an Olympic or Commonwealth sport during the previous year.

The cup is a scale replica of an original Queen Anne cup of the same design presented by Lord Lonsdale during the 1911 Festival of Empire meeting. Originally won by Canada it was subsequently given to the British Empire Games Federation and to ensure its best use as an Empire trophy melted down and smaller cups were given to the several British Empire Games Associations in existence in 1934.
