Who can enter State, Territory and Australian Masters Championships?

Q: Who can enter State, Territory and Australian Masters Championships?

From the 2026 General Technical Regulations (section 2): State or Territory Championships: all eligible riders holding an AusCycling Race Membership or UCI licence may enter. A Closed championship is only for AusCycling members who live in that state or territory. An Open championship also allows AusCycling members from any state or territory, and riders from another UCI National Federation who hold a current UCI International licence. State champion title: a rider can only be recognised as State/Territory Champion in one state or territory, based on their Primary Club Allocation, and must have been part of that club for at least 3 months before the Championships. Australian Championships: Domestic championships are for Australian citizens who are current AusCycling racing members (or hold a licence of another UCI affiliated nation with an "AUS" international designation). Open championships also allow riders with a UCI International licence from another National Federation, with AusCycling's permission. State or Territory team at Nationals: competitors representing a state or territory must have been affiliated with it for at least two months before the first day of the Championships, unless AusCycling exempts them. Medals: at Masters road and track championships, medals are awarded in all events no matter the number of competitors, and separate medals are still given when categories are combined.
