As in the previous season, the rounds were held in Melbourne (Australia), Cali (Colombia), Beijing (China) and Manchester (Great Britain) although there was a slight reshuffling with Manchester moving from the first round to the last.
In a change to the format of World Cup events, only the Olympic events (Keirin, Omnium, sprint, team sprint and team pursuit) were contested at each round. The other World Championships events were contested at one or two rounds only.
