USA Cycling is thrilled to announce the return of the USA Juniors Cup for 2025, continuing the partnership to deliver a premier national development race series. The mission remains the same: a reliable calendar with a competitive format where USA Cycling can identify young talent.
Building on the success of previous years, the 2025 series will feature eight events, three of which have been designated as National Team Selection Events. Similar to this past season, the top performers at Valley of the Sun (Arizona), La Primavera (Texas), and Tour of America’s Dairyland (Wisconsin) will earn invitations to National Team trips and camps.
The overall general classification winners of each selection event for the Junior 17-18 Men’s and Women’s categories will receive automatic nominations for a 2025 National Team trip, partially funded by the USA Juniors Cup. Additionally, the top-placed 15-16 male and female riders at each selection race will be invited to attend a USA Cycling European race camp.
The 2025 USA Juniors Cup Race Series schedule is as follows:
Schedule | Event | Location |
January 31 – February 2 | Swamp Classic | Gainesville, Fla. |
February 14-16 | Valley of the Sun* | Phoenix, Ariz. |

In addition to the selection races, the top three USA Juniors Cup 17-18 male and female, and the top 15-16 male and female overall finishers will earn invites to a USA Cycling National Talent Identification Camp. This camp will take place at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. from October 6-12, 2025. The finalized selection documents will be posted here in January 2025.
