Take 44 hyped-up, adrenaline-fuelled, YZ65 mounted supercross riders, throw in 50000+ fans across two massive stadiums, and memories that will last a lifetime – and you have the Yamaha YZ65 Cup.

The Yamaha YZ65 Cup is back for the 2024 Fox Australian Supercross Championship, bringing two exhilarating weekends of action. The young riders will take centre stage at Round Three in Wollongong’s WIN Stadium and the 5th and final round at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, where they’ll not only experience the thrill of professional supercross up close but also have the chance to meet their idols and race in front of packed grandstands.

Yamaha riders aged 9 to 12 will have the extraordinary opportunity to share the track with world-class supercross stars, immersing themselves in a full bLU cRU experience. This unforgettable night, exclusively for Yamaha owners and YZ65cc riders, promises memories that only Yamaha can deliver for these young athletes and their families.

Each round offers 22 young riders the chance of a lifetime, including a gear bag full of Yamaha goodies and the opportunity to meet Yamaha’s superstars. With capacity crowds anticipated at both venues, this promises to be the most unforgettable YZ65 Cup yet—an event not to be missed!
