Four-cross was added to the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup and UCI Mountain Bike and Trials World Championships in 2002, replacing dual slalom (in existence from 1998 to 2001). It was removed from the World Cup after the 2011 season. A replacement world series, the 4X Pro Tours (no longer under the aegis of the UCI), was launched in 2012.
