Tour of Yugoslavia (Serbo-Croatian: Kroz Jugoslaviju) was a stage road bicycle race held annually in Yugoslavia. Launched in 1937, the race was held in 1938 and 1940 before interruption due to World War II. In 1947 the first post-war edition was held, and it continued to be organised every year until 2000. Although the race was an event for amateur cyclists during most of its history, it was opened to professional riders in 1998.
