List of 2012 UCI Women's Teams and riders explained

Listed below are the UCI Women's Teams that competed in road bicycle racing events organized by the International Cycling Union (UCI), including the UCI Women's Road World Cup in 2012.

Teams overview

The ranking in the table below is decided by the points accumulated by each team's best four riders in the previous season. The organisers of Women's World Cup events are obliged to invite the top 15 teams, and the organisers of Women's UCI class 1 events must invite the top 10 teams.[1]

The country designation of each team is determined by the country of registration of the largest number of its riders, and is not necessarily the country where the team is registered or based.[2]
