Previous:	2008	Next:	2010

Starting its third season, the 2009 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup season continued the search for future World Champions. The 2009 season begins with two races during the Spanish Grand Prix weekend at Jerez on May 2 and May 3 and ends with another double header at the Czech Republic Grand Prix in Brno on the August 15 and August 16. Another six European GPs see single Rookies races on each Saturday, making it an eight-race championship, which is two more races than the last season.

The commercial rights of the championship are held by the rights-holders for the MotoGP World Championships, Dorna Sports.

The Czech Jakub Kornfeil was proclaimed champion in the last race, in only his second season of road racing.
