YAMAHA MOTOR AUSTRALIA RETURNS AS MAJOR PARTNER OF 2026 AUSX SUPERCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP
Yamaha Motor Australia will continue its strong support of Australian Supercross in 2026, returning as a Major Partner of the Boost Mobile AUSX Supercross Championship presented by Monster Energy.
The renewed partnership will see Yamaha maintain a significant presence across the 2026 championship, while also continuing its commitment to developing the next generation of Australian and New Zealand Supercross talent through the popular Yamaha BLU CRU YZ65 Cup.
The BLU CRU YZ65 Cup will feature at four rounds of the 2026 championship, beginning in Auckland on October 31 before heading to the AUSX Open in Geelong on November 7, Perth on November 14 and the season finale in Newcastle on November 28.
Giving young riders the opportunity to compete on the same track and in front of the same crowds as the stars of AUSX, the BLU CRU YZ65 Cup has become an important part of the championship’s pathway and fan experience.
Riders aboard BLU CRU YZ65 Cup will experience the complete AUSX environment, from racing under lights inside major stadiums to being part of the night show alongside Australia’s leading Supercross racers and international stars.
AUSX Head of Partnerships & Motorsport Mick Sinclair said Yamaha’s continued investment in the championship and junior racing made the partnership particularly important.
“Yamaha has been a fantastic supporter of AUSX, and we’re extremely proud to have them back as a Major Partner for the 2026 championship.”
“What I particularly love about this partnership is the BLU CRU YZ65 Cup. We’re giving young riders an opportunity they’ll remember for the rest of their lives, racing on an AUSX track in front of thousands of fans and sharing the event with some of the best Supercross riders in the world.”
“It’s also great to be taking the BLU CRU YZ65 Cup to Auckland this year, giving young New Zealand riders the opportunity to be part of it. Yamaha genuinely invests in riders from the grassroots through to the highest level of the sport, and that aligns perfectly with what we’re trying to build with AUSX.”
Matthew Ferry, General Manager Sales & Marketing Land Mobility at Yamaha Motor Australia, said the partnership provides Yamaha with an important platform to support both the championship and the future of the sport.
“Yamaha has a long and proud history of supporting motorcycle racing at every level, and we’re excited to continue our partnership with AUSX in 2026.”
“The BLU CRU YZ65 Cup is a particularly important part of that commitment. Giving young riders the chance to experience a professional Supercross event, race in front of a major crowd and see what is possible within the sport is something we’re incredibly proud to support.”
“With four BLU CRU YZ65 Cup events across Australia and New Zealand this season, we’re looking forward to seeing the next generation of riders enjoying an unforgettable experience aboard their Yamahas.”
