The FIM Motocross World Championship is the premier world series of motocross racing, organised and sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme. It was inaugurated in 1957 with a 500 cc engine formula, had been run as the European Championship before that, gained a 250 cc class in 1962 and a 125 cc class in 1975. Today the championship is divided into the MXGP and MX2 classes, with about twenty events a season, two races per class and a point-scoring qualification race. A separate women's world championship, the MXW, began in 2005 and acts as a feeder series. In 2004 the federation reworked the displacement rules toward four-stroke engines, creating the MX1, MX2 and MX3 classes. The championship also keeps lists of all-time Grand Prix wins and medal tables by nation.
