We present an investigation of the open cluster Trumpler 2 using Gaia DR3 photometric, astrometric and spectroscopic data. 92 stars were identified as likely members of the cluster, with membership probabilities greater than 0.5. The mean proper-motion components of the cluster are derived as (μαcosδ, μδ)=(1.494±0.004, −5.386±0.005) mas yr−1. By comparing the Gaia based colour-magnitude diagram with the PARSEC isochrones scaled to z=0.0088, age, distance modulus and reddening are simultaneously estimated as t=110±10 Myr, μ=10.027±0.149 mag and E(GBP−GRP)=0.452±0.019 mag, respectively. The total mass of the cluster is estimated as 162 M/M⊙ based on the stars with membership probabilities P>0. The Mass function slope is derived to be Γ=1.33±0.13 for Trumpler 2. This value is in a good agreement with that of of Salpeter. Galactic orbit analyses show that the Trumpler 2 orbits in a boxy pattern outside the solar circle and belongs to the young thin-disc component of the Galaxy.
