The UCI Cyclocross World Cup was a roaring success on debut in Dublin last year, with capacity crowds treated to a feast of great racing from some of the biggest names in the sport. It's no surprise, then, that the glamour fixture is coming back to the Sport Ireland Campus in west Dublin, with racing on November 25th and 26th.
The organisers have now released tickets, which can be purchased immediately at a discounted rate, as well as setting out the details of all of the events that will be held; from the main World Cup races for pros, U23s and juniors to senior amateur and youth events over the weekend.
Tickets are a little bit more expensive this time around, but not much more, and a discount is available now for a short period. A bumper weekend of racing is promised, with hopes that the 8,000-strong crowd last year can be repeated or even surpassed.

Adult tickets cost €17.50 - compared to €15 last year - while children under 12 years old can attend for free. However, you must book the children's ticket online. That €17.50 price for adult tickets is an early bird offer and will increase to €20 in time.

Cycling Ireland is hosting the day of amateur racing on Saturday, which will be a unique opportunity for riders to race around an international cyclocross course 24 hours ahead of the pros, U23s and juniors. Details of how to enter those races on Saturday have not yet been released. However, the schedule of events on Saturday is as follows:
- 12:00-12:40pm - U14 & U16 boys and girls races
- 1:05-1:45pm - Senior, Women, M40, M50, M60 races
- 2:00-4:00pm - Official UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup training
The Dublin round is just one of five rounds of the 2023-24 UCI Cyclocross World Cup that will have official World Cup racing for U23s, male juniors and female juniors.
The inclusion of junior and U23 racing is a major boost to the fixture – not that any boost was needed – and is a real vote of confidence by Flanders Classics in the Sport Ireland Campus venue, which will once against host the racing, and in the level of support for world class cyclocross in Ireland.
The move also offers a fantastic opportunity for up and coming Irish riders to compete on home soil on an Irish team against the best U23 and junior cyclocross riders in the world.
