A cage for a tapered roller bearing includes a large-diameter-side annular portion circumferentially extending along large end surfaces of a plurality of tapered rollers; a small-diameter-side annular portion circumferentially extending along small end surfaces of the tapered rollers; and a plurality of pillars coupling together the large-diameter-side annular portion and the small-diameter-side annular portion. The large-diameter-side annular portion has large-diameter-side pocket surfaces opposed to the large end surfaces of the respective tapered rollers. The large-diameter-side pocket surfaces include oil retaining holes including blind holes, and being configured to receive and retain lubricating oil by capillary action.
