The UCI ProSeries is the second tier women's elite road cycling tour. It was inaugurated in 2020. The series is placed below the UCI Women's World Tour, but above the various 1.1/2.1 and 1.2/2.2 races. As of 2026, the tour consists of 20 races in Europe and Australia, of which 17 are one-day races (1.Pro) and 3 are stage races (2.Pro).[1]

History

In January 2019, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) announced that from 2020, a second tier of professional cycle races would be held below the existing UCI World Tour and UCI Women's World Tour races – the UCI ProSeries. Women's ProSeries races would have to "abide by improved organisational standards" including a level of television production.[2]

In 2020, the inaugural UCI ProSeries calendar consisted of 8 events, of which only 2 ran due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the number of events expanded, but again the COVID-19 pandemic led to multiple cancellations, with only 6 events running.[3] Some races (such as Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Dwars door Vlaanderen and Women's Tour Down Under) have subsequently moved to the UCI Women's World Tour.

In 2021, the Giro d'Italia Women was run as a UCI ProSeries event due to the lack of live television coverage during the 2020 edition of the race.[4] The Giro returned to the UCI Women's World Tour in 2022.

In 2026, the calendar grew substantially, gaining 7 new events including two additional stage races.[5]
