The American Criterium Cup is an eight race professional criterium series that elevates the stature of criterium racing in the United States.

The series is led by a group of independent criterium race organizers in collaboration with, and supported by USA Cycling, with input from professional and domestic teams and athletes.

Each event has pledged to execute each event with standards of excellence, high production quality, and safety. Organizers of the series have pledged a series purse to be split equally among men and women. Additionally, a minimum prize list of $6,000 per gender per event will be expected. Each event has pledged to allocate resources to produce a world class platform that showcases the teams, individuals, and communities that comprise the American Criterium Cup. The overall series offers up $100K in prize money split equally by gender for Individual, Sprint, and Team.

New to the Series for 2024 is the addition of the ACC Junior Criterium Cup presented by Renaissance Financial for athletes 15 to 16 and 17 to 18 years old. Designed to share the limelight of the ACC with athletes of the future, the Junior Criterium Cup will award Jerseys and talent ID opportunities to the next generation of American cyclists. Renaissance Financial proudly affirms “We are honored to support such an esteemed event that aligns with our values of community engagement and youth empowerment.”
