The Tour of the Netherlands (Dutch: Ronde van Nederland) is a road bicycle racing stage-race in the Netherlands, founded in 1948.
It was an annual race since 1975.[1] Because of the start of the UCI ProTour in 2005, it was replaced by the Eneco Tour.
The first edition started on April 24, from Dam Square, Amsterdam. The riders finished on May 1, nine days later, in the Olympisch Stadion.[2]
The competition's roll of honor includes the successes of Rik Van Looy, Jan Janssen, Joop Zoetemelk and Laurent Fignon. The record of victories belongs to Gerrie Knetemann.
The race was not held from 2005 to 2024, before returning in 2025 as the Tour of Holland. It is part of the UCI Europe Tour calendar as a 2.1 category event.[3]
