History
First edition	2016-17 (2016-17)

The Ethias Cross is a season-long cyclo-cross competition, formerly known as the Brico Cross, consisting of 8 rounds throughout the season in Belgium and the Netherlands. It is one of six season-long competitions, alongside the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup, Cyclo-cross Superprestige, the X²O Badkamers Trophy (formerly known as the DVV Trophy, before that the BPost Bank Trophy and before that as the Gazet van Antwerpen trophy), the EKZ CrossTour and the Toi Toi Cup. In contrary to the other competitions, the Ethias Cross does not award points or compose an overall ranking but rather consists of separate races.
