Grand Prix des Amériques was a classic one-day cycling race that took place in Montreal as part of the UCI Road World Cup. It was held between 1988 and 1992. In 1992, the race was named Grand Prix Téléglobe, after the name of the telecommunication company that sponsored that edition.
The race used a hilly circuit around Mount Royal, similar to that used at the 1974 UCI Road World Championships and the 1976 Summer Olympics.[1]
