The 2024 UCI Women's World Tour is a competition that includes twenty-eight road cycling events throughout the 2024 women's cycling season. It will be the ninth edition of the UCI Women's World Tour, the ranking system launched by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) in 2016. The competition begins with the Women's Tour Down Under from 12 to 14 January, and finishes with the Tour of Guangxi on 20 October.[1][2]

Events

The race calendar for the 2024 season was announced in June 2023, with twenty eight races initially scheduled.[3] The calendar is largely similar to 2023, with the dates of races moved to accommodate the 2024 Summer Olympics and 2024 Summer Paralympics.[3] Rumoured events such as women's editions of the Giro di Lombardia or Milan–San Remo, or promotion of the Thüringen Ladies Tour to the World Tour calendar did not occur.[4]

In January 2024, SweetSpot – the organiser and promoter of The Women's Tour – entered liquidation and the race was initially removed from the 2024 calendar.[5][6] The following month, British Cycling took over the running of the race, which was to be renamed as the Tour of Britain Women, and the race returned to the calendar but over a shorter four-day itinerary.[7][8]
