The UCI men's road racing world rankings are a points system used to rank men's road cycling riders. Points are awarded based on results in UCI sanctioned races, with points varying widely based on the importance and prestige of the race. The Tour de France grants the most points, with 1300 points going to the general classification winner.

The rankings are updated weekly, with points accrued over a rolling 52 weeks for three categories: Individual, Nations, and Teams. The Nations UCI World Ranking is based on the total points of that country's top eight-ranked riders, and the Teams UCI World Ranking is based on that team's top ten-ranked riders. These rankings are used to determine the number of riders per country at the UCI World Championships, and which teams are allowed access to UCI WorldTour events.

The UCI also published year-end rankings for the Individual and Nations categories.

Current ranking system

UCI World Ranking

On 10 January 2016, a complete new 52-week rolling basis ranking system was introduced in road cycling, incorporating both World Tour and Continental Circuit races.

Category Summary
Individual This ranking system is calculated on a 52-week rolling basis, rankings are updated each Tuesday. The ranking at the end of the calendar year will be utilised to award an annual winner.
Unlike previous ranking systems the UCI World Classification will include all male riders from the World Tour down to U23 riders. Points will be awarded on all races from World Tour level down to 1.2 and 2.2 races.
Nations This is based on the world ranking with the best eight riders from each country contributing towards their nation's overall score. Rankings are updated each Tuesday.
UCI WorldTour This is the UCI WorldTour ranking of riders, teams and nations taking part in the events of the UCI WorldTour. Only riders being part of a UCI WorldTeam obtain points in UCI WorldTour races.
Continental There will be subsets of rankings which are made up from points scored in non-World Tour races (i.e., UCI Europe Tour, UCI Asia Tour etc.) for individuals, teams and nations.
This will therefore allow one rider to appear in more than one ranking, for example a rider who won Strade Bianchi and a stage in the Tour of California would be part of the Europe Tour and America Tour rankings.

Previous year-end ranking systems

Throughout cycling's history, there have been many efforts to create season-long ranking systems that unify the many different races across the cycling calendar. Typically, these ranking systems were year long, with the winner being determined at the end of the season, rather than the rolling 52 week system introduced in 2016.

Challenge Desgrange-Colombo (1948–1958)

Cycling's first season-long classification system was the Challenge Desgrange-Colombo, named after the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia directors at the time. Introduced in 1948, the rankings included the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France, Vuelta a España, Milan–San Remo, Tour of Flanders, Paris–Roubaix, Liège–Bastogne–Liège, Lombardia, Paris–Tours, Paris–Brussels and Tour de Suisse.

Riders must have participated in at least one of the three races in each organizing country (Belgium, France and Italy) to appear in the top season rider final classification.

Super Prestige Pernod (1959–1987)

After the demise of the Challenge Desgrange-Colombo, French distillery Pernod sponsored a new season-long competition named the Super Prestige Pernod. It would run until 1987, when the French government placed a ban on alcohol advertisement in sport. Like its predecessor, the competition rewarded the season's best rider across both one-day and stage races.

The ranking was divided into three categories: Super Prestige Pernod (the best rider of the year), Prestige Pernod (the best French rider) and Pernod Promotion (the best French under 25).

FICP/UCI Road World Rankings (1984–2004)

The UCI Road World Rankings were based upon results from all UCI sanctioned races. It was organized by Professional Cycling Federation (FICP) from the 1984 to 1992 and by Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) from 1993 to 2004.

UCI Road World Cup (1989–2004)

The UCI Road World Cup operated from 1984-2004, running in parallel to the UCI Road World Rankings, and was intended as a successor of the Super Prestige Pernod. It consisted of ten one-day events, including the five Monuments. Hein Verbruggen, then president of the FICP and later the UCI, introduced the World Cup to try to increase cycling's television viewership: World Cup events were required to take place on the weekend, and many took place outside of cycling's historic core of France, Belgium, Italy, and Spain.

During World Cup events, the leader of the ranking for that season wore a distinctive jersey with a vertical rainbow.

UCI Pro Tour (2005–2010)

The creation of the UCI ProTour reshaped professional cycling, as part of an attempt to standardize the cycling calendar and ensure all professional teams rode the top races. As part of this reorganization, the UCI ProTour ranking (and second-tier UCI Continental Circuits) replaced the UCI Road World Cup and UCI Road World Rankings. The new ranking included both one-day and stage races.

The ProTour rankings were replaced with a World Ranking system for 2009-2010, though this only considered a small number of ProTour and other high-prestige races, and was then merged into the WorldTour in 2011.

UCI World Tour (2011–2018)

The UCI World Tour ranking merged with ex UCI ProTour ranking in 2011, counting points for all World Tour races. It designated the best rider and best team of the season between 2009 and 2018, and the best nation of the season between 2009 and 2016.

After 2018, the World Tour ranking was superseded by the road race world rankings, which include points from all races, not just World Tour events.
