Points Classification In The Giro D'Italia
The points classification in the Giro d'Italia is one of the secondary classifications in the Giro d'Italia. It is determined by points awarded for placings in the daily stages, regardless of time gaps.

The red jersey was re-introduced in 2010, as the ''maglia rosso passione''. However, in April 2017 RCS Sport, the organisers of the Giro, announced that the ''maglia ciclamino'' would be revived for the 2017 Giro d'Italia.
