UCI Women's Team
A UCI Women's Team is a women's road bicycle team sanctioned by the International Cycling Union (UCI). These teams compete in the major women's bicycle races, including the UCI Women's World Tour. The country designation of each team is determined by the country of registration of most of its riders and is not necessarily the country where the team is registered or based.[1]
WorldTeams
UCI Women's WorldTeams are automatically invited to compete in UCI Women's World Tour events.[2][3] From 2026, WorldTeams are required to compete in the majority of World Tour races, with an obligation to compete in all three Grand Tours (La Vuelta Femenina, Giro d'Italia Women, Tour de France Femmes).[4]
As of 2026, the fourteen UCI Women's WorldTeams are:
