The San Francisco Grand Prix was a road cycling race held in San Francisco, United States in early September. It was as a 1.HC event and in 2005 part of the UCI America Tour. It lasted five years.

The difficulties were the Fillmore and Taylor street climbs, short but steep, both an average 18% forcing riders to weave to get to the top. A month after the 2005 race plans for 2006 were abandoned because of economic and political problems.[1]
