Red Hook Crit was a criterium cycle race, held annually in Red Hook, Brooklyn starting in 2008. The series was founded by David Trimble.[1] Red Hook races were also held in three European cities: Milan starting in 2010, Barcelona starting in 2013, and at the Greenwich Peninsula, London in 2015.[2] Riders used brakeless fixed-gear bicycles. There were often crashes during the races due to the high speeds and technical courses.[3] It was at one time sponsored by Rockstar Games, among others.

A women's competition was added to the event in 2014.[4] [5]

In 2019 the race series was canceled.[6]
