Auto-Cycle Union, also known as ACU, is a State Owned entity headquartered in the Isle of Man. Founded in 1904, the organization operates with approximately 20 employees. The company specializes in motorsports and cycling, functioning as the governing body of motorcycle sport in the British Isles, encompassing the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, while excluding Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
On August 3, 2026, the ACU announced its Kickstart Women Trials Training is set to return to Rockfield, Monmouth, on September 5 and 6, 2026, in association with Gloucester and Cotswold Motorcycle Club, following two successful earlier events this year. This follows the FIM's presentation on July 9 of the 101st edition of the 6Days enduro to the UK parliament ahead of the Wales-based event next year. The 6Days, formerly the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE), is the oldest race sanctioned by the FIM, having first run in 1913 in Carlisle. Earlier, on July 7, FIM President Jorge Viegas joined ACU President Tim Lightfoot and other invited guests in London to discuss next year’s 6DAYS® FIM Enduro of Nations, which will be held in Great Britain for the first time in 44 years and was presented at the House of Commons. In June, Oxford speedway youngster Ashton Vale became the first rider since Andy Phillips in 1988 to win an ACU British Grasstrack Championship double title. Previously, on June 12, the Trials Standing Regulations were updated to clarify Technical Control requirements and the power output for electric machines, intending to provide a clear and consistent approach as the use of electric machines develops within Trials competition.
