200 g of brown sugar in cups
200 g ≈ 0.94 cups
That is also 15 tablespoons, at 213 g per US cup.
How to measure it
¾ cup + 3 tablespoons
0.94 cups is a number, not an instruction — there is no 0.94 cup in the drawer. The line above is the same quantity in the sizes you actually own, and following it lands within a teaspoon of 200 g.
Spoon the brown sugar into the cup and level it off. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down; on flour that alone is worth about 20%, which is more than the difference this page is measuring.

Why this number moves
Assumes firmly packed, which is what recipes mean unless they say otherwise. Loosely spooned it is closer to 145 g, so this is the second most common source of measurement error after flour.
This page uses 213 g per US cup. If your recipe came with its own figure, use theirs — internal consistency matters more than which table is right.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 200 g of brown sugar?
0.94 cups, which in measuring cups and spoons is ¾ cup + 3 tablespoons. One US cup of brown sugar weighs about 213 g.
How do I measure 200 g of brown sugar without scales?
¾ cup + 3 tablespoons. Spoon it in and level the top rather than scooping — scooping compacts brown sugar and can add a fifth to the weight.
Is this the same in the UK?
The gram figure is, the cup is not. A US cup is 236.6 ml and the metric cup used in Australia and much of Europe is 250 ml, so a European cup of brown sugar weighs about 225 g. These pages use the US cup.
