The race:

The Eneco Tour of Benelux began in 2005 as a result of reinvigorating and reorganizing the Tour of the Netherlands, which was running on hard times. The Tour of Belgium is a co-sponsor of the race. Eneco is a major supplier of gas, electricity and heat in the Netherlands.

In 2017 online banker Binckbank took over as the title sponsor.

The Tour of the Netherlands did not become a regular annual event until 1975. Hence, there are missing years, which are years the race wasn't held, in the race results below.

Distances and average speeds listed in early 1950s editions of the Tour of the Netherlands should be considered approximate.

In 2021, with BinckBank not sponsoring the race, it went back to calling itself the "Benelux Tour"

The race was not run in 2022. The organizer explained the reasons: "The Benelux Tour, the only multi-day UCI WorldTour competition in Belgium and the Netherlands, will be moved to 2023. Originally, the competition was scheduled to take place between 29 August and 4 September of this year. The organisation has no other option but to move the event to avoid complications caused by a cycling calendar that is too full, especially when it comes to logistics and media coverage. The busy international cycling calendar leads to several conflicts and, despite frantic efforts, it was impossible to find an alternative solution forcing us to postpone."

Waste management company Renewi became the race's main sponsor in 2023 and the race once again, got a new name, the Renewi Tour.
