Organisation

The governing body of amateur cycling in New Zealand is the New Zealand Council of the NZACA. This is composed of members representing the eight centres, or districts, into which the country is divided. The following centres – Auckland, Waikato, West Coast North Island, Hawke's Bay – Poverty Bay, Wellington, Canterbury, Otago, and Southland – arrange the fixtures within their respective territories. The Association's headquarters are in Wellington.

By April 1964 there were 78 amateur cycling clubs affiliated to the New Zealand Amateur Cycling Association, with a total membership of 1,185, including 12 women cyclists.
