With the registration procedure for UCI professional teams (UCI Women's WorldTeams, UCI WorldTeams, UCI Women’s ProTeams and UCI ProTeams) now completed, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) today announces the names of the 57 teams registered for the 2025 season.
The 2025 season marks another major step forward for women’s professional cycling with the introduction of the UCI Women’s ProTeams, establishing a two-division structure similar to that of the men’s teams. This first registration of teams in this new category paves the way for its gradual expansion, with arrival of new teams already announced for 2026.
In addition, the 2025 season will be the last of the current licensing cycle for men's and women's teams. At the end of the cycle, all UCI Women's WorldTour and UCI WorldTour licences will be reallocated for the period 2026-2028.
