The Grand Prix of the Americas,[1] known as the RedBull Grand Prix of the Americas for sponsorship reasons, is a Grand Prix motorcycle race that was held for the first time in the 2013 season at the Circuit of the Americas.[2] It became the third MotoGP round in the United States, alongside the Indianapolis Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (which lost its place on the calendar from 2015) and the United States Grand Prix at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (which lost its place on the calendar from 2014[3]).

The 2020 race was cancelled due to the outbreak of COVID-19.[4]
