The Round of New York is a current TM Master Cup event held in the vicinity of New York City. It has variously been held at the New York Autoring and the Streets of New York.

The 2008 event is most known for seeing long-time ARLA competitor James West winning the race. This race was known as "Upset of the Century" by broadcaster Dan Mullen. This race was held at the Autoring, a superspeedway in Albany. The event returned for 2009, where John Parker, Jr. won his first (and to this point only) career race. This was also the first victory for Star Team Nemoto. This was the most recent Cup event at the Autoring, although the TM Lights and FARC continued to visit the track.

The race returned in 2012. It was held on the Streets of New York in the New York borough of Manhattan as a support race for the V8 Champ Car series, featuring the teams who were members of the Master Cup Manufacturers' Association. These teams had boycotted an earlier race in Michigan due to a dispute with series organizers. It was won by Melanie Clevenot.

The street race returned in 2013 as a standard full-grid event.
