The Criterium National Championships is TBC for 2025.

A criterium is a thrilling road race for both riders and spectators. This closed circuit race is fast paced, intense and requires many technical skills to compete at a top level. The event includes Under 17 categories and Under 19 categories prior to the much anticipated Elite Men's and Women's races.

The event is officially the NZ Criterium. As such this event is not an official UCI-sanctioned National Championship and accordingly does not carry with it a National Jersey for the winners. The event winners and placegetters will receive medals.
