The 2020 Rally New Zealand (also known as the Rally New Zealand 2020) was a motor racing event for rally cars that was scheduled to be held over four days between 3 and 6 September 2020,[1] but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] It was set to mark the forty-fifth running of Rally New Zealand and planned to be the ninth round of the 2020 World Rally Championship, World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3. The 2020 event was scheduled to be based in Auckland in Auckland Region.

Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena were the overall reigning rally winners.[3] Citroën Total World Rally Team, the team they drove for in 2012, when Rally New Zealand held a World Rally Championship event last time, were the defending manufacturers' winners.[3] However, they would not defend the rally either as they withdrew from the championship at the end of Шаблон:WRC.[4]
