The Greenwood Cup Stakes is an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually each summer at Parx Casino and Racing (formerly Philadelphia Park) in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. Open to three-year-olds and up, the Grade III event is set at a distance of  1 1⁄2 miles on dirt. The race offers a purse of $200,000.
