Five different states are set to host national championships events in 2022, with the UCI Road World Championships, the centrepiece event for the year, set for Wollongong from 18 - 25 September.

Tasmania will host its first BMX National Championships since 2002, also the first time in over 25 years that the national championships will take place in Launceston.  

The Track National Championships will see the Junior (15, 17, 19), Elite and Para Championships combined into an integrated event as the Championships head back to Brisbane.  

Australia’s road and mountain bike national championships will return to Ballarat and Maydena, respectively, after hosting championships this year. 

Wollongong will host both the Cyclo-Cross National Championships, in addition to the Junior and Master Road National Championships as part of the 2022 UCI Road World Championships festival.  

AusCycling’s CEO Marne Fechner welcomed the news and is looking forward to over 2,500 riders competing in all cycling disciplines.  

“We are pleased to be announcing the majority of dates and locations for the 2022 national championships, with five disciplines across five different states, with more announcements still to come," said Fechner. "In what continues to be uncertain times, we’d like to thank the many stakeholders and government partners for their help in making these events possible.” 

AusCycling confirmed that further information on all the below events will be released later.
