The organisers of the Giro d'Italia have awarded wildcard invitations to Q36.5 Pro Cycling and Tudor Pro Cycling, alongside Italian teams Polti-VisitMalta and VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè, confirming a total of 23 teams will compete in this year's Corsa Rosa. 

Like the Tour de France and Vuelta a España organisers, RCS Sport requested a 23rd place for the 2025 Giro d'Italia after Q36.5, Tudor and other ProTeams pushed for a place in the Grand Tours.
