2007–2008 UCI America Tour

The 2007–2008 UCI America Tour is the fourth season for the UCI America Tour, a series of road bicycle races. Canadian Svein Tuft of the Symmetrics Professional Cycling Team is the defending 2006-2007 UCI America Tour individual points champion. Symmetrics also captured the 2006–2007 team points championship and Colombia was awarded the 2006–2007 nations points championship.

Throughout the season, points are awarded to the top finishers of stages within stage races and the final general classification standings of each of the stages races and one-day events. The quality and complexity of a race also determines how many points are awarded to the top finishers, the higher the UCI rating of a race, the more points are awarded.

The UCI ratings from highest to lowest are as follows:

The current individual points leader of the UCI America Tour wears the UCI America Tour cycling jersey to signify to the other riders and spectators that he is the most consistent rider throughout the season. The UCI also maintains a team points competition based on the top finishers for each cycling team and a country points competition based on the riders' nationality.
