The New Forest and Hampshire County Show, or more commonly known as The New Forest Show, is an annual agricultural show event held for three days at the end of July in New Park, near Brockenhurst in Hampshire, southern England, UK.

The show attracts over 100,000 visitors every year, and brings together a celebration of traditional country pursuits, crafts, produce and entertainment. Show jumping is another major feature at the show and there are competitive classes throughout all three days. A full range of equestrian classes also features, as well as livestock competitions including pigs, cattle and sheep, plus a poultry section, rabbits, cage birds, and honey bees.

The first New Forest Show was in 1921, and in 2006, it celebrated its 80th show. The show is also great for local business as well as agricultural business, food, flowers and vegetable displays bringing together all aspects of rural life.
