The New York International Auto Show is a big yearly event where new cars are shown off. It happens in Manhattan, New York City, usually in late March or early April. The show takes place at the Jacob Javits Convention Center. It often starts around Easter weekend and finishes the Sunday after Easter.

This exciting show has been held every year since 1900. It was actually the very first car exhibition in North America! For many years, from 1956 to 1987, the show was held at the New York Coliseum before moving to its current home at the Javits Center.

Before the show opens to the public, many car companies reveal their brand-new cars and special "concept" cars to the news reporters. Concept cars are like futuristic ideas for what cars might look like. Groups like the Greater New York Auto Dealers Association (GNYADA) and the International Motor Press Association (IMPA) also hold meetings and events. The World Car Awards often announce their yearly winners during these events.

Besides showing off cars, the event also hosts conferences and gatherings about cars. This ten-day show brings hundreds of millions of dollars to the economy of New York City and State.
