Hi Folks,

Welcome back to the 2025 Monaro Stages Rally!

After a brief time away in 2024, we are thrilled to be back in action and to once again bring you the rallying experience that the Monaro region is known for. This year, we are especially excited to be part of the AMSAG Southern Cross Rally Series, adding a new chapter to our event’s legacy while maintaining the spirit and camaraderie that have always defined Monaro Stages.

The break last year gave us the opportunity to reflect, refine, and come back stronger than ever. With a two-day format featuring 13 exhilarating stages—including the much-anticipated shire roads around Cooma, as well as the forests of Bondi and Coolangubra, Nimmitabel, Dalgety and Bibbenluke. We are set to deliver a rally that will challenge competitors, thrill spectators, and showcase the very best of the Snowy Monaro region’s diverse terrain.

A huge thank you goes out to AMSAG for welcoming us into their series, as well as to our dedicated organising team, officials, volunteers, and sponsors who make this event possible. Your passion and support are what keep this rally alive and thriving.

We also cant rally without the support of our wonderful sponsors Kosciuszko Automotive, located in Jindabyne, NSW. Todd and Megan have embraced our event and we love having them on board.
To our competitors, crews, and supporters—whether you’re a seasoned veteran of Monaro Stages or experiencing it for the first time—welcome. We can’t wait to see you out on the stages, pushing the limits and making memories that will last long after the dust has settled.

Strap in, stay safe, and let’s go rallying!
