The 2024 Giro d'Italia Women was the 35th edition of the Giro d'Italia Women, a women's road cycling stage race in Italy. The race took place from 7 to 14 July 2024 and was the 21st race in the 2024 UCI Women's World Tour calendar. The race was organised by RCS Sport, which also organised the men's Giro d'Italia. The race was won by Italian rider Elisa Longo Borghini of Lidl–Trek, the first Italian winner since 2008.[1]

22 teams are participating in the race.[2]
Each team will start with seven riders. All 15 UCI Women's WorldTeams were automatically invited. They will be joined by five UCI Women's Continental Teams selected by organisers RCS Sport. The two best UCI Women's Continental Teams of the 2023 season also gained automatic invitations.[3] The teams were announced on 7 June 2024.

See main article: 2024 Giro d'Italia Women, Stage 1 to Stage 8. In December 2023, the route was announced by new organisers RCS Sport.[4] [5] The race will start in Brescia, Lombardy in northern Italy with an individual time trial, before heading south through the Emilia-Romagna, Marche, Umbria and Abruzzo regions. The final two stages will be in the southern Apennines mountains, with the queen stage on stage 7 with a summit finish at Blockhaus at an elevation of 1680m (5,510feet). As the highest climb of the race, the first rider to pass Blockhaus will be awarded the "Cima Alfonsina Strada" – a prize named after Italian cyclist Alfonsina Strada, who took part in the men's Giro d’Italia in 1924.[6] The total race distance of 856km (532miles) will be the shortest since 2013, with the previous 10 editions of the race averaging over 950km (590miles) in length.
Following criticism of previous editions of the race,[7] the 2024 route was considered to be "impressive" and a "positive step", with praise for the last two mountain stages.[8] [9] As with the previous editions, the route required a waiver from the Union Cycliste Internationale, as Women's WorldTour races have a maximum race length of six days.[10]
