But the crew are planning to be back bigger and better than ever in 2027.

MEDIA RELEASE: New Zealand Motorcycle Show to Return in 2027

Following another successful event in 2025, Premier Events and the Papakura Rotary Club have announced that the New Zealand Motorcycle Show will take a one-year break in 2026 and return to the Auckland Showgrounds on 16-17 October 2027.

The New Zealand Motorcycle Show brings together manufacturers, clubs, traders, custom builders, racers and enthusiasts from across New Zealand, while continuing to raise significant funds for charity.

As a not-for-profit event, our priority has always been delivering the best possible outcome for exhibitors, visitors and the charitable causes we support. With current economic conditions in mind, we've chosen to focus our efforts on creating an even stronger event for 2027.

Planning for the 2027 event is already underway, with new features, expanded displays and exciting opportunities currently being explored.

Sponsors, manufacturers and traders interested in being part of the 2027 event are encouraged to get in touch early to secure their spot and take advantage of the extended promotional period.
