This included the event at One New Zealand Stadium, which had been set to go ahead on December 5.
One New Zealand Stadium said the championship “continues discussions with potential investors regarding the future of the competition”.
“Venues Ōtautahi share in the disappointment of motorsport fans who were looking forward to the series’ New Zealand debut,” the post read.
“Tickets were yet to go on sale for this event, but a number of premium hospitality guests have already locked in their spots for this event and will be refunded.”
The post said Venues Ōtautahi “remains committed to identifying unique world-class events that show off One NZ Stadium’s versatility”.
“We are delighted to see the strength of sporting content at One NZ Stadium to date, delivering far ahead of our expectations.
“Despite this disappointment, with a strong pipeline ahead, we look forward to welcoming more sporting, entertainment and other major events to One NZ Stadium in the future.”
When the event was first announced, Venues Ōtautahi chief executive Caroline Harvie-Teare said it was a great opportunity to showcase the stadium on the world stage.
“Welcoming the FIM World Supercross Championship to Christchurch is a major moment for the city and another wonderful milestone for One New Zealand Stadium.”
The event was also set to provide another challenge for the stadium, which would have been transformed from a concert venue into an indoor dirt track a week after the Robbie Williams concert on November 28.
