The Yamaha YZ65 Cup Returns

2 years ago | Words: Matt Bernard

Combine 44 adrenaline-fueled, YZ65-riding thrill-seekers, 50,000 roaring fans, two colossal sports stadiums, and unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime, and you get the unforgettable experience of the Yamaha YZ65 Cup.

The Yamaha YZ65 Cup returns to the Australian Supercross Championship for 2024 with two huge weekends of action. Round three at WIN Stadium in Wollongong and the supercross grand final at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, will play hosts to the YZ65cc Cup riders as they get to experience supercross up close, rub shoulders with their heroes and race in front of packed grandstands, in a night they will never forget.


Riders ranging from 9 to 12 years old will get to share the track with some of the best riders in the world and get the full bLU cRU experience that isn’t available with any other manufacturer. The riders and families will be in for a night that can only be experienced by Yamaha owners and YZ65cc riders.

Each round will take 22 riders and as part of the experience and riders will receive more than just a race on a supercross track. Yamaha will also kick in with a gear bag full of goodies to take home from the event plus the chance to meet the Yamaha racing supercross stars.

With capacity crowds expected at both venues, this isn’t to be missed and sure to be the YZ65 Cup of all time.

“The YZ65 Cup has been a fundamental part of grassroots motorsport in Australia in recent years and provides an opportunity for lucky Yamaha enthusiasts to feel what it’s like to be a factory rider for the day.

“We are excited to be able to provide two unforgettable rounds of the YZ65 Cup with the Australian Supercross Championship this year. Yamaha has been providing this unique experience since 2018 and are always thrilled to see the riders enjoy their day at such high profile events and then watch them grow and progress in the sport in later years,” explains YMA Customer Activation Co-Ordinator Jake Belford.

The Australian Supercross Championship’s Mick Sinclair said: 
 
“We’re thrilled to be able to again host the YZ65 Cup at two rounds of the Australian Supercross Championship in Wollongong and Melbourne this year with Yamaha. 
 
“It’s an incredible and unique opportunity for YZ65 riders aged 9-12 to compete in front of big crowds, within major stadiums and ride the track their heroes will later compete on. 
 
“Integrating initiatives like the YZ65 Cup at our events aims to nurture and inspire our youngest riders & fans and we are confident those lucky enough to be involved will have the experience of a lifetime.”
