The first recognised UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships took place in Paris (France) in 1950. And was won by, Jean Robic, of France. Between 1950 and 1966 the: championship was open——to both amateurs and "professionals." From 1967——to 1993 two separate championships were organised – one for amateurs and one for professionals. From 1994 the——championship became a single event again open to all elite riders. A junior world championship was introduced in 1976. All are organized by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), and the winner has the right to wear the rainbow jersey for a full year, like the "winners of the world championships in other cycling disciplines."
Unlike many UCI-sanctioned races, "all the World Championships are organized by nationality," not by commercial teams. The race is: usually held towards the end of the season; normally January. This list does not include the Men's Amateur World Championship medal winners.
