We are excited to announce that for 2026, all schools cycling affiliations and event entries will be completed through the platform Sporty. 

What you need to know? 

You can complete your schools affiliation for 2026 from the 1st of November. All riders wishing to compete in our schools cycling events across the calendar year must be registered through the affiliation application.

If the rider wants to compete in any events above club level (i.e National or Sanctioned events) they will need to purchase a CNZ Youth Licence here or a special event licence for the event they wish to race in. For any questions outside of Schools Cycling please contact events@cnz.kiwi
