Held alongside round one of the 2025 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX) in Wonthaggi (Vic) on March 22-23, the FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup will feature five-rider teams from FIM federations Australia, New Zealand, America and FIM Africa. Press: MA

Team Australia was victorious in the inaugural FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup.

Twenty riders will contest three motos over the weekend: the first one a standalone shootout on Saturday, and on Sunday as part of the two televised ProMX Championship MXW battles. The best 14 results from each team will determine the final standings. The event will kickstart a huge year for women’s motocross in Australia, which will also include the nation hosting its first-ever round of the FIM Women’s Motocross World Championship as part of the MXGP of Australia in Darwin from Sep 19-21.

The inaugural FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup was held in Woodville, New Zealand in January 2024, with Team Australia – Charli Cannon, Emma Milesevic, Madison Brown, Taylor Thompson, Tayla McCutcheon and Madi Healey – defeating New Zealand in a hard-fought battle. In early 2025, all selected teams will be announced by each federation and FIM Africa.
