The 1902 UCI Track Cycling World Championships were the World Championship for track cycling. They took place in Rome, Italy for the sprint disciplines on 15 June and -as the flat cycling track in Rome proved unsuitable- in Berlin, Germany for the motor paced disciplines on 22 June.[1] Four events for men were contested, two for professionals and two for amateurs.
