Wairarapa Racing Club treasurer Garrick Emms said people will not only get an opportunity to see it but also to photograph it and to talk to one of the cup's winning jockeys.
That rider is expected to be retired hoop John Marshall who rode Rogan Josh to victory for cups' king Bart Cummings in 1999.
There will also be various racing silks and other memorabilia on display.
On July 26 the cup will be on display for a Kids Show in the Anzac Hall in Featherston from 2pm to 4pm after a media-only stop at the track earlier in the day.
Then, in the evening there will be a ticketed gala night in the hall at $30 a head with guest speakers, prizes for the best Melbourne Cup attire, spot prizes, finger food and a cash bar.
The next day the cup tour will travel to Martinborough for a residents-only visit to Wharekaka Home in mid morning before going on the Pukemanu Tavern where the cup will remain on display from 11am until 2pm.
Masterton will be the final stop with the cup being on display at the Kuripuni Tavern from 3.30pm until 5pm.
