The FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup is returning to Wonthaggi, Australia in 2026 as FIM Asia prepares to makes its debut in the thrilling multi-country international motocross battle.

To be held alongside round one of the 2026 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX) on March 21-22, the FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup will feature four-rider teams from returning federations Australia, New Zealand and the United States of America as well as FIM Asia.

Sixteen riders representing some of the best women’s motocross athletes will contest three motos over the weekend: one as a standalone shootout, and two alongside round one action in the ProMX Championship Ezilift MXW class.

The best 11 results from each team (ie a team can drop its worst result) will determine the final standings and crown the prestigious 2026 FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup winner.

In early 2026, all selected riders and teams will be announced by the federations and FIM Asia.

Team Australia is the two-time defending champion in the FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup, defeating New Zealand in 2024’s inaugural event in Woodville before a Wonthaggi nail-biter in 2025 saw them come from behind to defeat a talented United States of America.

FIM Oceania President, Peter Doyle: “The FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup has produced magnificent racing over the last two years, especially in 2025 as the event went down to the wire in an absolute thriller which was broadscast on live television around the world — worthy given the quality of the racing.

“I expect the 2026 event to be another brilliant showcase of women’s motocross, and I’d like to extend a warm welcome to FIM Asia, which will add even more excitement and depth to the event.”
