The Belgian Road Cycling Cup (also known as Napoleon Games Cycling Cup after its sponsor) is a road bicycle racing competition established in 2016 and consists of a number of standalone races in Belgium. In each race, the top 20 riders score points and the rider scoring the most points in total is crowned the Belgian Cycling Cup champion. Separate classifications are kept for the best young rider and the best team.

Points distribution

For the individual rankings, points are awarded to all eligible riders each race according to the following table:

Points distribution
Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Points 100 85 72 60 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2

Each race, the ten best young riders (Under-23) received points as follows:

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Points 100 85 72 60 50 45 40 35 30 25

Each race, the positions of the first three riders of each team are added together to give the team position. The team with the lowest team position is the winner of the team competition for that race. E.g.: a team having their first three riders all on the podium will have a team position score of 1+2+3=6 and since no other team will have a lower team position, this team will win 12 points for the team standings.
