The series consisted of nine rounds and 18 races in 2015 with the championship getting started at the Circuit of the Americas(COTA) in Austin, Texas and ending at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, New Jersey. MotoAmerica shared three rounds of its series with Dorna properties MotoGP (COTA and Indianapolis Motor Speedway) and the World Superbike (Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca).
