UAE Team Emirates XRG

The team was established in 2017 as UAE Abu Dhabi before being renamed UAE Team Emirates in 2018. It is sponsored by the UAE government and the team has achieved notable success in various prestigious races, including stage wins and overall victories in Grand Tours (the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, and Vuelta a España) and one-day races. The team was temporarily suspended from the ProTour in 2010, missing one ProTour event.{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/lampre-granted-temporary-protour-license|title=Lampre granted temporary ProTour license - Cyclingnews.com|website=cyclingnews.com|access-date=26 January 2010|archive-date=1 April 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100401225212/http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/lampre-granted-temporary-protour-license|url-status=live}}

In August 2016 the team (then called Lampre-Merida) confirmed that its WorldTeam licence was being transferred from CGS Cycling to Chinese company TJ Sport Consultation, with the team becoming the first Chinese WorldTour team from 2017. Former {{UCI team code|GEO|2004}} team manager Mauro Gianetti was announced as the co-ordinator for the project.{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tj-sport-consultation-to-take-over-lampre-meridas-worldtour-licence/ |title=TJ Sport Consultation to take over Lampre-Merida's WorldTour licence |author= |date=26 August 2016 |website=cyclingnews.com |access-date=3 September 2016 |archive-date=2 September 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160902222607/http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tj-sport-consultation-to-take-over-lampre-meridas-worldtour-licence/ |url-status=live }}

In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport the following month, Saronni confirmed that he and CGS Cycling would continue to manage the team on TJ Sport's behalf, and that the team's bicycles would be supplied by Colnago. He indicated that the project was being co-ordinated by the Chinese government via TJ Sport with involvement from a number of Chinese companies including Alibaba, and that its aim was to develop Chinese cycling and riders.{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/saronni-reveals-details-of-the-new-chinese-worldtour-team/ |title=Saronni reveals details of the new Chinese WorldTour team |last1=Farrand |first1=Stephen |date=3 September 2016 |website=cyclingnews.com |access-date=3 September 2016 |archive-date=4 September 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160904114940/http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/saronni-reveals-details-of-the-new-chinese-worldtour-team/ |url-status=live }}

When the UCI awarded 17 WorldTour licences to teams in November, it announced that TJ Sport's application was "under review" by its Licensing Commission.{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/new-sponsor-set-to-save-tj-sport-team-after-problems-with-chinese-backers/ |title=New sponsor set to save TJ Sport team after problems with Chinese backers |last=Farrand |first=Stephen |date=13 December 2016 |website=cyclingnews.com |access-date=26 December 2016 |archive-date=28 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161228150324/http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/new-sponsor-set-to-save-tj-sport-team-after-problems-with-chinese-backers/ |url-status=live }} According to Saronni, the reason for the delay was that the head of the TJ Sport project, Li Zhiqiang, had fallen seriously ill, which prevented funding for the project from being confirmed.

As a result, the team looked elsewhere for sponsorship, securing funding from the United Arab Emirates and changing its name to UAE Abu Dhabi. The UCI confirmed the team's WorldTour licence on 20 December.{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/saronni-reveals-how-he-secured-uae-abu-dhabis-worldtour-licence/ |title=Saronni reveals how he secured UAE Abu Dhabi's WorldTour licence |author= |date=26 December 2016 |website=cyclingnews.com |access-date=26 December 2016 |archive-date=11 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190111231225/http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/saronni-reveals-how-he-secured-uae-abu-dhabis-worldtour-licence/ |url-status=live }} In February 2017, the team announced that airline Emirates had signed on with the team as a naming-rights sponsor. The team was subsequently known as UAE Team Emirates.{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/fly-emirates-to-sponsor-uae-abu-dhabi-team/|title=Fly Emirates to sponsor UAE Abu Dhabi team - Cyclingnews.com|website=cyclingnews.com|access-date=21 February 2017|archive-date=22 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170222111512/http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/fly-emirates-to-sponsor-uae-abu-dhabi-team/|url-status=live}}

In June 2017, two days before the 2017 Tour de France the team announced it would also be sponsored by the First Abu Dhabi Bank, an amalgamation of the First Gulf Bank and the National Bank of Abu Dhabi, with their logo being added to the chest and side of the team's jersey.{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/uae-team-emirates-brings-on-new-sponsor-ahead-of-tour-de-france/#disqus_thread|title=UAE Team Emirates brings on new sponsor ahead of Tour de France - Cyclingnews.com|website=cyclingnews.com|access-date=29 June 2017|archive-date=2 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170702180131/http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/uae-team-emirates-brings-on-new-sponsor-ahead-of-tour-de-france/#disqus_thread|url-status=live}}
