The anisotropic flow of charged hadrons in asymmetric Cu+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider is studied in a multiphase transport model. Compared with previous results for symmetric Au+Au collisions, charged hadrons produced around midrapidity in asymmetric collisions are found to have a stronger directed flow v{sub 1} and their elliptic flow v{sub 2} is also more sensitive to the parton scattering cross section. Although higher order flows v{sub 3} and v{sub 4} are small at all rapidities, both v{sub 1} and v{sub 2} in these collisions are appreciable and show an asymmetry in forward and backward rapidities.
