A content relay apparatus and content relay method are provided as an apparatus and method capable of effectively reducing an access time to a content server even in a case where a content is provided to a lot of terminals as receivers. Concerning a content provided by a content server 40 in group A with a high access frequency, a content relay apparatus 1 stores the content in a content storing unit 107 upon first transmission thereof to a communication terminal 20, and the content is retrieved from the content storing unit 107 and then transmitted to the communication terminal 20 upon second or subsequent transmission. Therefore, even if there are a lot of communication terminals 20 and accesses are concentrated on the content server 40 in group A, the content stored in the content storing unit 107 is transmitted to all the communication terminals 20 having second or subsequent accesses, which can effectively reduce the access time.
