It's very annoying when you find a good recipe that you can't do since it has "cups" in them.

Australia, Canada, New Zealand: one cup is 1/4 litre (250 mL), equivalent to approximately 8.8 Imperial or 8.5 U.S. fluid ounces.
Japan: one cup is 1/5 litre (200 mL). A traditional Japanese cup (gou) is 180 ml; 10 Japanese cups together make one shou, the traditional flask size, of 1.8 liter. Sake is typically sold by both the cup (180 ml) and flask (1.8 liter) sizes. The cup size used for measuring rice is the traditional size of 180 ml. (For example, a 10-cup rice cooker has a capacity of 1.8 liter or 1 shou.)
United States (current legal definition, such as for nutrition labeling): one cup is 240 mL, as defined in U.S. law (21 CFR 101.9 (b) (5) (viii)).
United States (customary definition): one cup is 0.5 U.S. pints, or 8.0 fl oz (U.S.) fluid ounces, equivalent to approximately 237 milliliters or 8.3 Imperial fluid ounces.
Cup sizes implied in cooking recipes do not necessarily define serving sizes for beverages. For example, a cup of brewed coffee in the U.S. is traditionally 6 U.S. fluid ounces (180 mL) instead.
Metric recipes in Europe often use the deciliter (1 dl = 100 ml) as a cup-like measure. For example, where an American customary recipe might specify "2 cups", a metric recipe might specify "5 deciliters".

It's tricky to do cup conversions as weight, since cups are a measure of volume - and no two ingredients weigh the same for the same volume. (eg: caster sugar and muscovado sugar weigh different amounts - even different types of flour).
Best bet is to pick up a set of cups from Lakeland or other kitchen store.

There are almost 30 ml per ounce.
1 Cup = 236 ml (approximate)

If you want the answers in grams, quarts, etc. then we would have to know what ingredient you are wanting a measurement for. Here is a great website for conversions!
