We discuss the Josephson current between two noncentrosymmetric superconductors. The coexistence of superconducting order parameters between spin-singlet $\Delta_{\text{S}}$ and helical p-wave spin-triplet $\Delta_{\text{T}}$ enriches a variety of low-temperature behavior of Josephson current depending on their relative amplitudes. We will show that characteristic behaviors of the Josephson current for $\Delta_{\text{S}} > \Delta_{\text{T}}$ are clearly different from those for $\Delta_{\text{S}} < \Delta_{\text{T}}$. The topologically protected zero-energy surface bound states are responsible for the clear difference. We conclude that the Josephson current well reflects character of the topological surface states and the pairing symmetry of noncentrosymmetric superconductors.
