Abstract: The Delannoy numbers and Schr"oder numbers are given by �egin{align*} D_n=sum_{k=0}^n{nchoose k}{n+kchoose k}quad ext{and}quad S_n=sum_{k=0}^n{nchoose k}{n+kchoose k}frac{1}{k+1}, end{align*} respectively. Let $p>3$ be a prime. We mainly prove that �egin{align*} sum_{k=1}^{p-1}D_k S_kequiv 2p^3B_{p-3}-2pH^{*}_{p-1} pmod{p^4}, end{align*} where $B_n$ is the $n$-th Bernoulli number and those $H_n^{\ast }$ are the alternating harmonic numbers given by $H_n^{\ast }=su{m}_{k=1}^{n}frac(-1{)}^{k}k$. This supercongruence was originally conjectured by Z.-W. Sun in 2011.
