Coupe du Monde Cycliste Féminine de Montréal
The Coupe du Monde Cycliste Féminine de Montréal was an elite women's professional road bicycle racing event held annually between 1998 and 2009 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada as part of the UCI Women's Road Cycling World Cup season. The race used a hilly circuit around Mount Royal, similar to that used at the 1974 UCI Road World Championships, 1976 Summer Olympics and other races.
In 2010, the race was cancelled, with organisers blaming the creation of two new men's races – Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal and Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec – that made finding sponsorship impossible.
In 2024, organisers of the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal noted that they wished to stage a women's race in future, potentially as part of the UCI Women's World Tour.
