Mackenzie Coupland (born 1 September 2005) is an Australian professional road cyclist who rides for Liv AlUla Jayco. She won the 2026 Australian National Road Race Championship.[2]

Career

Coupland competed on the Australian domestic circuit as a junior, progressing through the ranks of the Perth-based Cycling Development Foundation program.[3] In 2024, she joined the Liv AlUla Jayco Continental development team, where her initial European results included finishing 14th overall at the 2025 Tour de Pologne Women and 7th overall at the 2025 Premondiale Giro Toscana.[4]

After two years on Liv AlUla Jayco's development squad, the UCI Women's World Tour team announced they were signing Coupland to a two-year contract in August 2025.[5] In just her third race as a professional, Coupland won the 2026 Australian National Road Race Championship in a 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) solo effort. As the elite and under-23 championship are run as a combined race, and Coupland was just 20 years old, she also became the Australian under-23 champion.[2]

Coupland won her first pro stage race at the Vuelta a Extremadura Femenina, winning a sprint against Lauren Dickson to win the final stage and the overall race.[6]
