2026 Giro d'Italia Women

The 2026 Giro d'Italia Women was the 37th edition of the Giro d'Italia Women, a women's road cyclingstage race in Italy, and the 19th event of the 2026 UCI Women's World Tour calendar. The race started on 30 May and finished on 7 June. The race was organised by RCS Sport, which also organises the men's Giro d'Italia.

The race moved to June from its traditional July date – and started on the same weekend as the finish of the men's race. The race previously had to compete for attention with the more famous men's Tour de France, and organisers had previously stated that they wished to move the calendar position of the race, so that the race is not overshadowed. Compared to other races in the UCI Women's World Tour, more ranking points are now awarded at the Giro d'Italia Women, Tour de France Femmes and the Vuelta Femenina – elevating these races in status.

The race was won by Dutch rider Demi Vollering (FDJ United–Suez) for the first time, after a strong performance on the final stage overcame a deficit of just under a minute. Vollering won two stages on her way to victory, becoming only the second woman after Annemiek van Vleuten to win all three Grand Tours. Second overall was German rider Antonia Niedermaier (Canyon//SRAM), who performed strongly throughout the race, finishing in the top 5 on four stages. Third overall was Dutch rider Anna van der Breggen (Team SD Worx–Protime), who led the race for four stages, after winning the mountainous individual time trial on stage 4.

In the race's other classifications, the mountains classification was won by Vollering, and the points classification was won by Italian rider Elisa Balsamo (Lidl–Trek), who won 4 stages. Her main rival Lorena Wiebes was disqualified from the race on stage 1 due to an underweight bike. The young rider classification was won by Canadian rider Isabella Holmgren (Lidl–Trek), who finished 7th overall after finishing in the top 10 on four stages. Lidl–Trek won the teams classification.
