The Skycity Triple Crown[1] is a V8 Supercar event held annually at Hidden Valley Raceway near Darwin in the Northern Territory, Australia.

Australia's northernmost racetrack had existed for several years prior to its upgrade for its national championship debut in 1998.

The event is staged over a three-day weekend (Friday-Sunday). Practice is held on Friday. During most of its history the meeting was held to a three race format with the first race held on Saturday and two on Sunday. 2009 saw the adoption of the two stand alone races format with individual qualifying each day for each race.
