The two events are expected to boost the local economy with an influx of competitors, officials and fans to the region.
The Kurri Kurri Speedway Club stepped up to the plate to hose the three championships on the same evening when there were doubts one or more of them may not be held this year.
"When we heard, we offered to conduct the three title events and MNSW has agreed," club president Peter Campton.
"Our club is about providing opportunity at all levels and we did not want to see our young riders missing out on a chance to be a state champion."
"This will be a great way to launch our 2019/2020 summer speedway season."
The NSW junior and under-21 titles kicks off a huge summer of racing at Kurri Kurri including the fourth of the NSW titles with the NSW Open solo championship to be held on Saturday, December 7.
The annual Jason Crump Invitational returns on Boxing Day and as usual will be one of the highlights of the season.
This year the Australian solo title starts in Kurri Kurri and a qualifying night has been set down for Thursday, January 2 and round one will be staged on Friday, January 3. The annual Tex Macdonal Team's Challenge on Saturday, January 25, will be the last meeting for many of Australia's leading riders before they head back to Europe.
