The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) is a geocode standard used for referencing the subdivisions of Cyprus for statistical purposes. [1] The standard is developed and regulated by the European Union. [2] The NUTS standard is instrumental in delivering the European Union's Structural Funds. The NUTS code assigned to Cyprus is CY, and Eurostat has established a hierarchical structure consisting of three levels. However, Cyprus does not have subdivisions covered by the NUTS levels, as its population is small enough to be covered within a single level.

In addition to the NUTS levels, there are further levels of geographic organisation known as the local administrative units (LAU). In Cyprus, LAU 1 corresponds to districts, and LAU 2 represents municipalities. These divisions help in the administration and organization of statistical data at a local level.
