Trofeo Laigueglia has been upgraded to UCI 1.HC status for 2015. The race opens the Europe Tour calendar on February 19.

The Municipality of Laigueglia awarded the Gruppo Sportivo Emilia with the responsibility of handling the technical aspects of the 2015 edition of the race. "We will provide this great classic with all of the experience that we have gained over more than 30 years of organizing in cycling, to set up a race worthy of the name and history that it brings with it.”

Lampre-Merida has won the last two editions through Filippo Pozzato and, most recently, Jose Serpa.
