The 2025 UCI Women's World Tour will be a competition with thirty road cycling events throughout the 2025 women's cycling season. It will be the tenth edition of the UCI Women's World Tour, the ranking system launched by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) in 2016. The competition will begin with the Women's Tour Down Under from 17 to 19 January, and will finish with the Tour of Guangxi on 19 October.[1]

Events

The race calendar for the 2025 season was announced in June 2024, with twenty nine races initially scheduled.[2] The calendar was similar to 2024, with the return of Tour of Scandinavia following a hiatus in 2024 due to a lack of funding.[3]

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.[4] [5] In October 2024, the final calendar was announced with the addition of two new events – the previously rumoured women's edition of Milan–San Remo,[6] and a new one-day race in Denmark, the Copenhagen Sprint.
