ACW Tour

The ACW Tour is the premier cycling competition organized by the Association du cyclisme wikinationnelle (ACW).

Background and history
Professional cycling among wikinations has existed since the start of the 20th century. The ACW was founded in 1907 by Libertas, Traspes and Cettatie, with Brunant becoming a member in 1908. The first multinational competition was the Tri-Nation Tour in 1911, with a race each in Brunant, Traspes and Libertas. Postponed during World War II, on its return in 1920 a Toulon to Cettatie race was added as a fourth.

In 1957 the first modern race, the Grand Dame Challenge, was established by liqueur company Grand Dame. It comprised of races in Brunant, Libertas, Traspes, Cettatie, Inselöarna and Strasland and was the first to involve marked stages and allow sponsored teams.

In 1984 the Challenge was expanded and renamed to the ACW Professional Challenge, in 1999 to ACW Professional Tour and starting 2007 just the ACW Tour.
