The New Zealand Cycle Classic (previously known as the Tour of Wellington) was a road cycling race held in and around the Wairarapa near Wellington, New Zealand. The race was a men's competition over five stages and part of the UCI Oceania Tour.

In August 2024, it was announced by race organiser Jorge Sandoval that the race was being cancelled due to difficulty finding a naming rights sponsor.[1]
