In October 2019, Israel Cycling Academy completed the takeover of UCI World Tour team Katusha-Alpecin, including its UCI WorldTour license. They have also established a special partnership with one of the leading French amateur teams – Côte d’Armor – which enables its young development team riders to race in France and gain valuable experience overseas. To further develop young Israeli cyclists, ICA operates a development team with a select group of under-23 riders. In January 2019 the team opened three cycling special youth programs in Israel and formed a youth cycling team in the Arab village of Shfaram. The team owners, Ron Baron and Sylvan Adams, have set the team's goal as participation in the world's biggest races including the Tour de France, in order to continue inspiring and developing a new generation of Israeli cyclists. The team was invited to take part in the Giro d’Italia In May 2019 and will make its first appearance in the Tour of California. In 2019, in its fifth season of existence, ICA enlarged its team roster to 30 riders and set up a racing program that has exceeded 250 racing days all around the globe. Three days later when the team completed the Giro in Rome, Guy Sagiv became the first-ever Israeli cyclist to finish a grand tour. ICA's best performance in the Giro was recorded in the 18th stage, when its Spanish rider Ruben Plaza finished in second place. ICA co-owner Sylvan Adams was the driving force behind the Giro's "Big Start" in Israel, having financed a significant part of the race budget. The three stages raced in Israel attracted considerable interest from the Israeli public, with many thousands of Israelis lining up along the route and supporting the riders and especially the ICA home team. The Giro held its second and third stages in Israel before it continued onto European soil. The Giro d’Italia opening stage took place in Jerusalem on – the first time in the Giro's 101 years of existence that it has started outside Europe. In 2018, the team participated in a cycling monument event for the first time – 2018 Milan-San Remo, and in a grand tour for the first time – the 2018 Giro d'Italia. On 2 July 2015, the Israeli Road Racing Champion Guy Sagiv joined the ranks of ICA. The team's first victory came in the fourth stage of the 2015 Tour d'Azerbaïdjan, won by Daniel Turek. This team was intended to provide inspiration, hope and faith to future generations of Israelis.
