The UCI Mountain Bike World Cup is a multi-round mountain bike racing series that is sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale. The first World Cup series – which was comprised of cross-country events – was held in 1991. The Downhill World Cup was inaugurated two years later, and the Dual Slalom World Cup was launched in 1998. The dual-slalom format – which involved knock-out heats with two riders on the course in each heat – evolved into four-cross (with four riders per heat) in 2002.
Riders win points according to their placing in each event. The reigning series leaders in each class are identified by a special jersey.
