The UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup is a season-long competition in cyclo-cross, organised by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and Flanders Classics. First held in the 1993–1994 season, there are currently six awards, tailored to the different categories of riders: Elite Men, Elite Women, Under 23 Men, Under 23 Women, Junior Men and Junior Women.

The World Cup is not to be confused with the World Championship, also organised by the UCI, which is a single one day race that awards the winner with a rainbow jersey to be worn in every race till the next World Championship. Typically the World Championships are held a week or two after the end of the World Cup at the end of January or early February.

In November 2014 the first round of the World Cup ever to take place outside mainland Europe was held in Milton Keynes, England. The following September, the CrossVegas competition was incorporated into the World Cup for the first time, becoming the first World Cup round to be held in the United States.

Race Categories There are 5 race categories.

Elite Men Elite Women Under-23 Men (aged 19 to 22) Junior Men (aged 17 and 18) Junior Women (aged 17 and 18)

Women Under-23 (aged 19 to 22) take part in the Elite Women race but a separate ranking and award ceremony is organized for Under-23 contestants.

Points During each race the World Cup classification points are awarded based on the following table.

For Under-23 and junior classification only the best 4 or 5 results, depending on the number of races, are taken into account for the final world cup classification.

Jersey

At the end of each race the leader of the general classification in each category is awarded a special jersey. This jersey is to be worn only at the world cup races. For most categories the jersey is white and red, except for Under-23 Women's leader jersey which is white and blue. In 2025 the design was changed, adding black color to the jersey.
