Series Motorcycling Australia sanctions the following series:
Australian Superbike Championship
The Australian Superbike Championship (ASBK) is a national motorcycle racing championship in Australia, organized by Motorcycling Australia.
Australian Supercross Championship
The Australian Supercross Championship was inaugurated in 2015, following on from various series of this discipline of stadium motocross dating back to the late 1970s. The series is usually held over 4-5 rounds across various major stadiums, and takes place in spring and early summer, from October to December. The series incorporates the AUS-X OPEN which also doubles as the first leg of the Oceania Supercross Championship (the second being the SX Open in Auckland), and the Australian Grand Prix of the FIM Supercross World Championship. American Justin Brayton has dominated the series in recent years, winning multiple titles.
ProMX
The ProMX Motocross Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Penrite ProMX Motocross Championship), is the premier Australian Motocross series, sanctioned by Motorcycling Australia. The series runs throughout autumn and winter, before the Supercross stadium series in spring, and features three classes; the premier class MX1, MX2, and MX3, which also features junior riders. An MXW class for women is also part of the series.
Australian Enduro Championship (Previously Australian Off Road Championship)
The Australian enduro scene launched into a new era in 2025, with a rebrand to the Australian Enduro Championship (AusEnduro) from what was formerly known as the Australian Off-Road Championship (AORC).
In its previous guise as AORC, AusEnduro was first introduced in 2007 after being previously run in 2005 and 2006 as the National Off-Road Series. The Australian Off-Road community were pushing for a nationally recognised championship after only meeting once a year at the Australian Four Day Enduro (A4DE), otherwise their only opportunity to compete was at state championship level. This then prompted the National Off-Road Series and what is now known as AusEnduro. From 2007 until 2009 the championship was promoted privately. In 2010, Motorcycling Australia (MA) took over the management of AusEnduro and continues to manage the championship today.
The Australian Enduro Championship is the official enduro championship of Motorcycling Australia. AusEnduro is both nationally and internationally recognised as producing top-level off-road riders and is a platform where the country’s best competitors and officials combine to put on Australia’s biggest off-road show, where it’s a case of rider and bike versus the elements of natural terrain. Furthermore, AusEnduro is an international stepping stone for Australian off-road racing talent, producing many champions who have gone on to ride at international level. Many riders from AusEnduro have been victorious at world championships, representing Australia in the International Six Day Enduro (ISDE).
Australian Speedway Championship
The Australian Speedway Championship is the premier speedway racing event in Australia.
