This page leans on the organiser where it could be read. The winner and the top three come from the organiser's own report; the jerseys and the places below third come from news reports; the race's history and every result before 2026 come from Wikipedia, a secondary source we name each time.
Name and organiser
Wikipedia (secondary) records that the race was known as the Giro Donne until 2023 and was renamed the Giro d'Italia Women from 2024, when RCS Sport, which organises the men's Giro, took it over on a four-year contract. The 2024 edition was the 35th and was part of that year's UCI Women's WorldTour. The record for most wins, per Wikipedia, is five, held by Fabiana Luperini of Italy (1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 2008).
Status on 22 October 2026
The 2026 race is finished. It ran from 30 May to 7 June 2026 over nine stages, from Cesenatico to a final stage that started and finished in Saluzzo, and its first two days overlapped the end of the men's Giro on 31 May (cyclingstage.com).
2026: Vollering on the final day
Anna van der Breggen won the stage 4 time trial to Nevegal and led for most of the race, going into the final day 49 seconds ahead. Demi Vollering won stages 5 and 8 and overturned the lead on the last stage at Saluzzo, which Elisa Longo Borghini won (cyclingstage.com; the organiser). Vollering (Netherlands, FDJ United-Suez) took the maglia rosa, and the organiser says the win completed her "Triple Crown": victories in all three women's Grand Tours (organiser; Bicycling Australia).
| Place, 2026 | Rider | Team | Gap: organiser and ProCyclingUK | Gap: cyclingstage.com |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Demi Vollering | FDJ United-Suez | Winner | Winner |
| 2 | Antonia Niedermaier | Canyon//SRAM zondacrypto | 30 seconds | 34 seconds |
| 3 | Anna van der Breggen | Team SD Worx-Protime | 1' 37" (organiser) | Not recorded |
| 4 | Elisa Longo Borghini | UAE Team ADQ | 2' 44" (ProCyclingUK) | 2' 54" |
| 5 | Niamh Fisher-Black | Lidl-Trek | 3' 26" (ProCyclingUK) | 3' 32" |
The gaps differ by source. The organiser and ProCyclingUK put Niedermaier 30 seconds behind; cyclingstage.com says 34 seconds, and also gives larger gaps for fourth and fifth than ProCyclingUK does. We prefer the organiser's figure for second place because it is the organiser's own result. The organiser's report does not give fourth and fifth, so for those we cannot say which version is right.
