The Aichi Hai (Japanese 愛知杯) is a Grade 3 horse race for Thoroughbred fillies and mares aged four and over, run in March over a distance of 1,400 meters on turf at Chukyo Racecourse.
The Aichi Hai was first run in 1963 at 2,000 meters and has held Grade 3 status since 1984. The Aichi Hai was run in December until 2014 and was open to three-year-olds before being changed to January: the change meant that the race was not run in 2015. The race was open to both male and female horses up to 2003. Since 2025, the race schedule was moved from January to March and run at a distance of 1,400 meters.
