Blue Water Cycling is a Danish road cycling team that was formed in 2009 as a merger between Herning CK and Team Løgstør-Cycling for Health. It is currently a UCI Continental Team, competing on the UCI Europe Tour. For the 2012 season, the team's riders are exclusively Danish.

The two most successful members of the team are Rasmus Quaade, who has won Danish national road titles five times (though only once with Blue Water), and Lasse Norman Hansen, who competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics, winning a gold medal in the men's omnium and placing fifth in the team pursuit.[1]
