2025 UCI Women's World Tour
The 2025 UCI Women's World Tour is a competition with twenty-seven road cycling events throughout the 2025 women's cycling season. The competition began with the Women's Tour Down Under from 17 to 19 January, and will finish with the Tour of Guangxi on 19 October.[1] It is the tenth edition of the UCI Women's World Tour – launched by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) in 2016 – but for the first time is not a ranking competition in its own right, with the rankings having been removed from the UCI's Road Race regulations.[2] EventsThe race calendar for the 2025 season was announced in June 2024, with twenty-nine races initially scheduled.[3] The calendar was similar to 2024, with the scheduled return of the Tour of Scandinavia following a hiatus in 2024 due to a lack of funding.[3][4] Following the announcement, the RideLondon Classique was cancelled by organisers, as it was not possible to run the race on the June date offered by the UCI.[5][6] In July 2024, the Ronde van Drenthe was removed from the calendar as a result of economic reasons.[7] In October 2024, the final calendar was announced with the addition of two new events[1] – the previously rumoured women's edition of Milan–San Remo,[8] and a new one-day race in Denmark, the Copenhagen Sprint.[1] In January 2025, it was announced that the Tour of Scandinavia would not be revived,[9] reducing the calendar to twenty-seven races. 2025 UCI Women's WorldTeamsThe fifteen Women's WorldTeams were automatically invited to compete in events, with the top two UCI Women's ProTeams listed on the 2024 UCI World Ranking (EF Education–Oatly and VolkerWessels Women Cyclingteam) also invited automatically.
