What type of membership do I need for racing in my club and local events? 

For those wishing to race in club events, a 2024 Sport Membership is sufficient for this level of participation. Race Licence add-on's are available for events succeeding club level. 

Check out our guide for licence requirements per event HERE. 

Why isn't my club available to select when I try renew my membership with them?

Only clubs that have completed their affiliation for 2024 will be available for joining through the system. If your club is not showing as available, we would recommend getting in touch with them directly to confirm that they have affiliated for 2024.

My Age Category is showing as Masters, but I want to ride in the Elite category this year, what can I do? 

Flick us an email at membership@cyclingnewzealand.nz upon purchase of your licence, and we can make the change for you!

Note, by relinquishing your Masters age category, you must continue to ride in the Elite Age Category for the rest of the season until your next licence renewal. 

I have purchased my membership or licence, how do I now register for an event? 

Event entry is a separate process to renewing or registering for your licence. You will need to register via the link provided on the Event Page. All National events can be found here.

What is meant by 'Nationality' when registering for a licence?

UCI website:

All licence-holders must have a sporting nationality that corresponds to their citizenship, regardless of which National Federation issues the licence. Riders with multiple citizenships must choose their sporting nationality when they first apply for a licence.

The sporting nationality is assigned by the National Federation at the time of the first licence application, and this information is indicated in the UCI DataRide system and on the UCI licence. In case of any discrepancies, the information in the UCI DataRide system prevails.

For any cycling event where a rider represents their national team, they may only be selected by the federation of their sporting nationality. A rider shall be subject to the regulations and disciplinary procedures of the national federation of their sporting nationality in all matters concerning their selection for the national team.

For all UCI Nationality FAQ's, please visit the UCI Sporting Nationality webpage. For any further questions, please email membership@cyclingnewzealand.nz. 

Why hasn't my International Licence been issued? 

As per UCI Regulations, International Licences can only be issued once insurance meeting UCI requirements has been sighted. More information can be found on the International Licencing and Insurance page on our website. Insurance documentation can either be uploaded via your membership profile, or emailed through to membership@cyclingnewzealand.nz. 

Please note that these documents need to be reviewed by a CNZ Staff member, and therefore there is a processing time of 2-3 weeks for the issuing of licences. If you require your licence urgently, please note the timeline of this when submitting your documents.
