The Tour of Norway is a road bicycle race held annually in Norway. It is considered as a successor to the stage race Ringerike GP, which is now a one-day race. It was started in 2011 as a result of the heightened interest in cycling in Norway, mainly due to good results of professional cyclists Thor Hushovd and Edvald Boasson Hagen. The race is ranked 2.HC on the UCI Europe Tour.
From the 2019 season the race will merge with Tour des Fjords to form a new six day stage race that will cover all of the of southern counties of Norway. The first edition will be held from May 28th until June 2nd 2019.
