UCI Junior Track Cycling World Championships

The UCI Junior Track Cycling World Championships (named the World Juniors Track Cycling Championships from its inauguration in 1975 until 2000 and UCI Juniors Track World Championships from 2001 until 2015) are a set of world championship events for junior riders, for various disciplines and distances in track cycling and are regulated by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). In the period 2005–2009 the championships were part of the UCI Junior World Championships.

The championships commenced in 1975 with four events for men only: sprint, points race, individual pursuit and team pursuit. In 1977, the time trial was added. In 1987, the first two events were introduced for women: sprint and individual pursuit. In 1989 and 1990, the points race was added to the women's schedule, but was then dropped in 1991. In 1998, the team sprint was added for men, and the time trial (500 m compared to the men's 1000 m) and points race were added for women. In 2002, the keirin, madison and scratch race were added for men, and the keirin and scratch race for women. In 2007, the omnium was added for men, and the team sprint was introduced for women. In 2008, the team pursuit was added for women. In 2009, the omnium was added for women. In 2016, the madison was introduced as a demonstration event for women. The following year, parity was achieved between men and women when the madison became an official women's event. There were now ten events each for men and women. In 2021, the elimination race was introduced for both men and women. In 2025, further parity was gained when the women's time trial became the same length (1000 m) as the men's.

The UCI awards a gold medal and a rainbow jersey to the winner and silver and bronze medals to the second and third place-getters. World champions wear their rainbow jerseys until the following year's championship, but they may wear it only in the type of event in which they won it. Former champions can wear rainbow cuffs on their everyday jerseys. World track championships are allocated to different countries each year. They are run by that country's national cycling association, although the judges are provided by the UCI.
