TheUCI Women's Road Cycling World Cup was a season-longroad bicycle competition for women organized by theUnion Cycliste Internationale between 1998 and 2015. This competition consisted of a series (which has varied from 6 to 12 events) of races linked together, not only by a common designation, but also by a yearly overall points competition.
Each World Cup race was a one-day event, with courses ranging from relatively flat,criterium-like courses, to those which have much climbing, as exemplified byLa Flèche Wallonne Féminine which ends on the famedMur de Huy climb with several sections exceeding 15% grades.[citation needed]
From 2016, the competition was replaced by theUCI Women's World Tour – which includes stage stages as well as one-day events, including many races used in the World Cup.
A teams classification was added in 2006.
