The women's Giro d'Italia will shift from its traditional July schedule to May 30 - June 7, 2026. This strategic change aims to enhance visibility for the prestigious stage race that has been running for 36 years. Managed by RCS Sports, the Giro is renowned for its challenging course featuring iconic mountain passes. The new schedule will position the women's Giro directly after the men's Giro d'Italia and eliminate its longstanding overlap with the Tour de France, coinciding with a busy May filled with other major women's cycling events.
The UCI announced that the event will take place from May 30 to June 7, 2026, marking its own spot on the calendar, which could promote increased visibility for the Italian Grand Tour.
The date change means that the women's Giro d'Italia will no longer overlap with the Tour de France, and instead being positioned directly following the men's Giro d'Italia, which concludes on May 31.
The women's Giro d'Italia is a long-running stage race, celebrating its 36th anniversary this year, which has carved out a niche as one of the most prestigious women's events in the world.
The committee unanimously voting to exclude the One Cycling project from the calendar.
