The 2018 UCI Women's World Tour was a competition that included twenty-four road cycling events throughout the 2018 women's cycling season. It was the third edition of the ranking system launched by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) in 2016. The competition began with Strade Bianche on 3 March and concluded with the Tour of Guangxi on 21 October. Anna van der Breggen of the Netherlands was the defending champion.{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/van-avermaet-and-van-der-breggen-crowned-2017-worldtour-champions/|first=Patrick|last=Fletcher|title=Van Avermaet and Van der Breggen crowned 2017 WorldTour champions|website=Cyclingnews.com|date=24 October 2017|accessdate=21 October 2018}}

Van der Breggen, riding for the {{UCI team code|DLT|2018}} team, was unable to defend her title, as she finished third in the standings behind compatriots Annemiek van Vleuten ({{UCI team code|GEW2|2018}}) and Marianne Vos, who was riding for the {{UCI team code|WM3|2018}} squad. Having taken three podium finishes, van Vleuten took the top spot after a strong second half of the season commencing at the women's Grand Tour, the Giro Rosa. Van Vleuten won three of the last four stages, taking the overall victory by over four minutes from her closest competitor,{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/44841468|title=Giro Rosa 2018: Annemiek van Vleuten secures title with third stage win|publisher=BBC Sport|date=15 July 2018|accessdate=21 October 2018}} as well as winning the race's points classification. Two days later, at La Course by Le Tour de France, van Vleuten took victory on the finish line, surpassing van der Breggen, who had faded over the closing stages.{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/van-vleuten-conquers-la-course-after-giro-rosa-exploits/|first=Daniel|last=Benson|title=Van Vleuten conquers La Course after Giro Rosa exploits|website=Cyclingnews.com|date=17 July 2018|accessdate=21 October 2018}} Van Vleuten then took the World Tour jersey for the season, winning the overall at the Holland Ladies Tour, again with three stage victories,{{cite news|url=https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/van-vleuten-innsbruck-pole-position-boels-ladies-tour-victory-392838|first=Owen|last=Rogers|title=Annemiek van Vleuten in Worlds pole position after Boels Ladies Tour victory|work=Cycling Weekly|date=2 September 2018|accessdate=21 October 2018}} ultimately finishing on 1411.86 points.{{cite news|url=https://www.nu.nl/wielrennen/5525960/van-vleuten-en-simon-yates-pakken-eindzege-in-worldtour.html|language=Dutch|title=Van Vleuten en Simon Yates pakken eindzege in WorldTour|trans-title=Van Vleuten and Simon Yates take the final victories in WorldTour|work=NU.nl|publisher=Sanoma|date=21 October 2018|accessdate=21 October 2018}}

Points standings

For the 2018 season, a new point-scoring system was introduced by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI),{{Cite web|url=http://www.uci.org/docs/default-source/rules-and-regulations/part-ii---road-races.pdf|format=PDF|title=PART 2 – ROAD RACES|publisher=Union Cycliste Internationale|date=1 July 2018|access-date=19 October 2018|pages=94–96|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181017034618/http://www.uci.org/docs/default-source/rules-and-regulations/part-ii---road-races.pdf|archive-date=17 October 2018|url-status=live}} rewarding the top 40 riders rather than the top 20 as in 2017. Further changes were made to the teams classification, where all point-scoring riders were counted in the rankings.

=Individual=

Riders tied with the same number of points were classified by number of victories, then number of second places, third places, and so on, in World Tour events and stages.
