UCI Track World Cup

The UCI Track World Cup - formerly known as the Track Cycling Nations Cup - is a key event in the track cycling calendar organised by the sport's governing body, Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI).

📜 UCI Track World Cup History

The inaugural round of the event - back when it was called the UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classics - was held in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1993. Since this initial competition, the format has changed in terms of number of rounds and the time of the track season in which rounds are held. As of 2021, the Track World Cup has consisted of 3 rounds held in different locations. Teams representing nations amass points over the 3 rounds and whoever has the most at the end of the final round wins the World Cup trophy.

💯 UCI Track World Cup Format & Scoring

The Track World Cup series is open to national teams and registered trade teams who compete over a number of track cycling disciplines. The overall classification is decided by a points system with riders or teams amassing points in each discipline competed during each round of the series. The rider or team that has the greatest number of points in each discipline wears a white leader's jersey in that discipline in the following round. The World Cup trophy is presented to the nation with the highest points in each discipline at the end of the final round of the series.
