The first professional World Cycling Championship took place in 1927 at the Nürburgring in Germany and was won by Alfredo Binda, of Italy. It is organized by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), and the winner has the right to wear the rainbow jersey for a full year. Unlike other UCI-sanctioned races, the World Cycling Championship is organized by nationality, not by commercial teams. The race is usually held towards the end of the season, usually following the Vuelta a Espana. The primary event is a 'massed start' road race, with the winner the first across the line at the completion of the full race distance. There are also world cycling championships for track cycling and individual time trial (ITT) disciplines, among others.

The World Time-Trial Championship, an ITT event, is usually held on the same week and venue. The winner of this event also earns the right to wear a slightly different rainbow jersey in ITT events for a full year.

The World Cycling Championship, along with the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia, forms the Triple Crown of Cycling.
