This season of World Cup consists of three rounds, in Cali (Colombia), Cambridge (New Zealand) and Hong Kong.
The first round will be hosted in Cali. Cali is the 3rd most populated city in Colombia and a regular site for the World Cup series which this year will be hosting the series for the thirteenth time. Unlike the other two rounds of this series, the racing will be held on three full days between 30 October 2015 and 1 November 2015 at the Velódromo Alcides Nieto Patiño. The venue recently hosted the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in 2014.
The second round will be hosted in Cambridge, which is a small town in the North Island of New Zealand. It is 24 kilometers away from the closest city Hamilton. This round will be held between 5 and 6 December 2015 at the Avantidrome. Avantidrome is a brand new indoor velodrome built in 2014.
The last round of this World Cup series will be hosted in Hong Kong. This round will be held between 16 and 17 January 2016 at the Hong Kong Velodrome. It will be the second international event after the velodrome was built in 2013.
