For the first time since 2022, the Australian cyclo-cross season will be headlined by a national championship in New South Wales, alongside a calendar full of diverse locations across the country.
Unveiled today, the 2027 AusCycling National Cyclo-cross Calendar will feature national level CX racing along Australia’s east coast, together with a National Series stop in South Australia.
Headlining the announcement is the 2027 AusCycling Cyclo-cross National Championships, which will be held in Bateman’s Bay, alongside the annual Sea Otter Australia Festival.
After taking place in Ballarat for the last four years, Australia's best CX racers will take over the NSW South Coast from 22–24 October in a bid to claim the coveted green–and–gold–jersey.
The AusCycling Cyclo-cross National Series will present just as many highlights along the way, with rounds taking place in the ACT, South Australia and New South Wales.
Early points will be vital at Mt Stromlo on 10–12 September, before riders take over Kingston Park in Adelaide from 24–26 September.

Byron Bay will then close out the National Series, where riders will tackle the course at the Bangalow Showgrounds from 1–3 October 2027.
“2027 is shaping up to be another exciting year of cyclo-cross, with riders set to race in some of the most exciting venues across the country," said Lukas Matys, AusCycling’s Head of Events – MTB & CX.
“From the ACT, South Australia and Byron Bay, the National Series presents the perfect opportunity for riders to test their mettle ahead of the National Championships in Bateman's Bay.
"After four years of thrilling action in Ballarat, we are excited to bring the National Championships to one of NSW's most vibrant coastal towns alongside the Sea Otter Australia Festival, the Southern Hemisphere’s largest cycling and outdoor festival.
“We are looking forward to building on what was a memorable year in 2026, which culminated in national championship victories by CX power couple Garry Millburn and Fiona Morris.”
State Cyclo-cross events have also been confirmed in Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria, with the state series in NSW to be announced shortly.
