The 2006-2007 UCI America Tour is the third season for the UCI America Tour. Jose Serpa is the 2005-2006 UCI America Tour series champion.

Throughout the season, points are awarded to the top finishers of stages within stage races and the final general classification standings of each of the stages races and one-day events. The quality and complexity of a race also determines how many points are awarded to the top finishers, the higher the UCI rating of a race, the more points are awarded.

The UCI ratings from highest to lowest are as follows:

Multi-day events: 2.HC, 2.1 and 2.2
One-day events: 1.HC, 1.1 and 1.2.

The current individual points leader of the UCI America Tour wears the UCI America Tour cycling jersey to signify to the other riders and spectators that he is the most consistent rider throughout the season. The UCI also maintains a team points competition based on the top finishers for each cycling team and a country points competition based on the riders' nationality.
