The fourth edition of the Amstel Gold Race for Women was a road cycling one-day race held on 16 April 2017 in the Netherlands. It was the sixth event of the 2017 UCI Women's World Tour. The race started in Maastricht and finished in Berg en Terblijt, containing 17 categorized climbs, covering a total distance of 121.6 km.[1] It was won by Dutch rider Anna van der Breggen.
It was the first edition of the women's Amstel Gold Race after a 14-year hiatus. With the reboot of the women's event and the creation of a women's Liège–Bastogne–Liège, in addition to La Flèche Wallonne Féminine, the women's season has the same trio of Ardennes classics as the men's.
