}}Aqua Blue Sport was an Irish UCI Professional Continental cycling team founded in January 2017 which folded at the end of the 2018 season.[3][4]

History

The team was set up by businessman Rick Delaney, assuring funding for at least four seasons with two-year rolling contracts offered to the riders.[4] The project is based on a self-sustaining finance model, with revenue generated from an online cycling marketplace [https://web.archive.org/web/20180501041150/https://www.aquabluesport.com/ www.aquabluesport.com] being used to fund the professional team.[5]

Aqua Blue Sport featured a 16-rider roster[6] for 2017. Having gained considerable success in the early months of its maiden season, Aqua Blue Sport was invited to the 2017 Vuelta a España.[7] Despite losing their team bus to an arson attack, the team continued at the Vuelta. On stage 17 of their first Grand Tour, Stefan Denifl earned the first Grand Tour stage win in the team's history, winning solo at the summit finish of Los Machucos.[8] In its first year, the team won its first individual stage, its first overall at a stage race, its first national champion, and its first stage at a Grand Tour.

On August 27, 2018, the team announced that it would not be racing in 2019, citing difficulties in obtaining race invitations from race organizers and a failed merger with the Vérandas Willems–Crelan team.[9]
