The Nokere Koerse was created in 1944, initially as the Grand Prix Jules Lowie in honour of 1938 Paris–Nice winner Jules Lowie who was born in Nokere. From 2005 to 2015, the race was organized as a 1.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour, and starting in 2016 it was upgraded to a 1.HC event. Since 2021, the race has been part of the UCI ProSeries. The 2013 edition of the race is counted as an edition by the organisation as it was fully organised but cancelled due to bad winter weather on the day (hence only 78 winners for 79 editions in the table below), and the 2020 edition of the race was cancelled owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since 2019, a women's edition of Nokere Koerse is held on the same day as the men's race, starting and finishing in the same location. In 2021, this race joined the UCI Women's ProSeries. [3] Since 2016, a junior edition of the race has also been held. [4]
Only five cyclists not born in Belgium or the Netherlands have won the men's race, with only Belgian and Dutch riders and one lone Polish rider having won the women's race.
