Cronulla’s Sharks Stadium will host the Sydney round of the 2025 Boost Mobile AUSX Supercross Championship, confirmed as round three on October 25 to complete the five-round calendar.

In what will mark the series’ first appearance at the Cronulla Sharks NRL Club’s home ground, the event also takes supercross back to the greater Sydney region for the first time since the 2018 edition of the AUSX Open at Sydney Olympic Park.

With the third round of AUSX having been in the balance since the announcements of Redcliffe’s double-header in Queensland, the AUSX Open in Melbourne, and South Australia’s season finale in Adelaide, the finalisation of the Cronulla venue sets up for a strong domestic series. An international rider line-up is also anticipated for Sydney.

“Sydney has played a defining role in the story of supercross in Australia,” said AUSX Championship managing director Kelly Bailey. “With round three at Sharks Stadium, the action will be intimate and close to fans, high-energy, and right in the heart of a sports-mad community. This is a homecoming with a fresh edge and fans are going to love it.”

With support from the Cronulla Sharks, the event will integrate cross-code content, athlete appearances, and local fan-first promotions to create a uniquely Sydney-flavoured supercross round – signalling the first time the two sporting worlds will converge inside Sharks Stadium in a co-branded stadium takeover.

The return to Sydney also doubles as a milestone moment for the AUSX Championship, celebrating 10 years since the first AUSX Open debuted in 2015 and nearly five decades of Supercross history in New South Wales, dating back to the sport’s first appearance in Parramatta in 1978.

Sydney’s newly-appointed late October date at Sharks Stadium is also significantly sooner in the schedule than the tentative November 15 date that was previously indicated, when AUSX was contemplating a return to the tight confines of Qudos Bank Arena. Wollongong and Newcastle – also National Rugby League (NRL) venues – were hosts of the previous NSW-based events.
