After three fantastic editions of the Dublin round of the UCI Cyclocross World Cup, the Irish round will not be included in cyclocross's biggest series next season.

A provisional schedule for World Cup 2025-26 has emerged in some European media reports and though Dublin was not included, there was some hope it could still go ahead because one of the rounds in December was 'to be confirmed'.

However, stickybottle has now established the Dublin round will not feature next season and the 'to be confirmed' round just before Christmas will take place in another location, not Ireland.
