To assist Cycling Canada Trade Teams in preparing for the upcoming season, Cycling Canada has released the 2025 Cycling Canada Trade Team Information Package.

National trade team registration is anticipated to officially open on November 20, 2024, and will close on January 22, 2025. The insurance offerings, process, and requirements for registering a team are the same for 2025 as in 2024.

**What is a Trade Team?**

A Trade Team is an incorporated or registered organization that aims to promote itself, its sponsors, and/or its members through cycling events. Typically, riders enter into a contractual agreement with the team or organization to outline mutual expectations and compensation.

A Cycling Canada (CC) affiliated Trade Team must consist of a group of athletes in the Junior, U23, or Elite categories. Additionally, a maximum of 50% of the team may be made up of Master riders. Riders can compete for the same team across all cycling disciplines. Furthermore, at least 75% of the team must consist of Canadian riders.
