The women's Paris–Roubaix (French: Paris–Roubaix Femmes) is a one day women's bicycle race on cobbled roads in northern France, intended to be held annually in early April. It is part of the UCI Women's World Tour. The equivalent men's race is a cycling monument, and after the Tour of Flanders and Liège–Bastogne–Liège, is the third to stage a women's edition.

History[]

The announcement of the inaugural women's edition of Paris–Roubaix came as a surprise addition to the revised 2020 UCI Women's World Tour calendar.[1] The race was scheduled for 25 October 2020, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The first edition of the women's Paris-Roubaix took place in 2021.[3]
