New Zealand Motorcycle Awards to be held 24 May 2025 at the James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor, Wellington

Motorcycling New Zealand is pleased to announce that after a four year hiatus we are pleased to bring back our Awards.  These awards have always been a special way to recognise and celebrate the incredible achievements of our members.  After such a long break, we cannot wait to shine a spotlight on those who have had incredible results, and made an impact in our sport.

These awards are open to both amateur and professional athletes that have excelled in motorcycle sport throughout the nomination period, whether that be internationally, nationally or regionally.

The Service to Motorcycle Sport award is awarded to members in a non-riding capacity that have given outstanding performance or service to the sport over a number of years.
