The Women's Amstel Gold Race is the women's event of the Amstel Gold Race, the most important annual road cycling event in the Netherlands. Held in mid-April, it is organized on the same day as the men's race at approximately half the distance.[1] Like the men's event, the race starts in Maastricht and finishes in Berg en Terblijt, Valkenburg. It features 17 categorized climbs, including four ascents of the Cauberg.[2][3]

The race forms one of the three Ardennes classics for the professional women's peloton - along with the Belgian La Flèche Wallonne Féminine and Liège–Bastogne–Liège Femmes.
