The 2017–18 Ford Trophy was the 47th season of the official List A cricket tournament in New Zealand, and the seventh in a sponsorship deal between New Zealand Cricket and Ford Motor Company. The competition ran from 3 December 2017 to 24 February 2018.[1] Canterbury were the defending champions.[2]

The final round of fixtures were all abandoned due to rain.[3] As a result, Central Districts topped the table[3] and were joined in the final stage with Auckland, Northern Districts and Canterbury.[3] After the preliminary final matches, Central Districts and Auckland had progressed to the tournament final.[4]

Auckland won the tournament, beating Central Districts by six wickets in the final.[5]
