The 2014 UCI World Tour was the sixth edition of the ranking system launched by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) in 2009. The series started with the opening stage of the Tour Down Under on 21 January, and concluded with the final stage of the Tour of Beijing on 14 October.
After winning the 2008 UCI ProTour, Spain's Alejandro Valverde won his first World Tour individual points title, amassing 686 points over the course of the season. The Movistar Team rider finished 66 points clear of his closest rival and compatriot Alberto Contador of Tinkoff–Saxo, while Australian rider Simon Gerrans was third for the Orica–GreenEDGE team, but was over 200 points in arrears of Valverde. In the teams' rankings, Movistar Team finished top for the second year running, with a total of 1440 points. Second place went to the BMC Racing Team after taking overall victories in two of the season's last three races, while Tinkoff–Saxo finished in third position. The nations' rankings was comfortably headed by Spain, with a points advantage of 764 over Italy.
