UCI Continental Teams
According to the UCI Rulebook, "a UCI continental team is a team of road riders recognised and licensed to take part in events on the continental calendars by the national federation of the nationality of the majority of its riders and registered with the UCI. The precise structure (legal and financial status, registration, guarantees, standard contract, etc.) of these teams shall be determined by the regulations of the national federation."
Riders may be professional or amateur. The nation under which the team is registered is the nation under which the majority of its riders are registered, a rule which the men's continental teams share with the UCI women's teams.{{Cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/cervelo-women-registered-as-dutch-team-in-2010|title=Cervélo women registered as Dutch team in 2010|date=26 November 2009}}
