It is the successor of Ladies Tour of Norway[1] and its first edition was held in 2022. Its a UCI Women's World Tour event. The race was to be called Battle of the North but due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine the organisers renamed it Tour of Scandinavia.[2]

In May 2024, the 2024 edition of the race was cancelled due to a lack of funding.[3] The race will return in 2025, with a spot on the 2025 UCI Women's World Tour calendar.[4]
