The 2025 UCI Track Cycling Nations Cup was an event that took place during the 2025 track cycling season. It was the fifth edition of the UCI Track Cycling Nations Cup organised by the UCI.
Background
In November 2024, the UCI announced that the first round of the 2025 Nations Cup would take place in Konya, Turkey between 14 and 16 March 2025. It would be the first major international event to be held at the Konya Velodrome, which opened in 2022.[1] The press release also stated that subsequent rounds would be announced in due course.[2] Previous editions of the Nations Cup had consisted of three rounds. However, no further events were announced; the UCI did not give an official reason for this. Hervé Dagorné, head coach of the Hong Kong team, described the lack of a full three-event schedule as "concerning" and "frustrating", saying that cycling federations had been "kept in the dark".[3][4]
