The race was first organized in 1903 to increase sales for the newspaper L'Auto (which was an ancestor of L'Équipe)[2] and has been held annually since, except when it was not held from 1915 to 1918 and 1940 to 1946 due to the two World Wars.
As the Tour gained prominence and popularity, the race was lengthened and gained more international participation. The Tour is a UCI World Tour event, which means that the teams that compete in the race are mostly UCI WorldTeams, with the exception of the teams that the organizers invite.[3]
