Growing up down the road from the Brunswick Velodrome in Melbourne, Ruby Roseman-Gannon began her cycling career on the track, spending her formative years alongside other notable Australian cyclists such as Luke Plapp and Sarah Gigante.

By her early teens, Ruby began to show promise as both a track and road rider, and first caught the attention of the cycling public in 2015 when she finished third in the Australian Junior Road Race National Championships.

Another significant podium followed in 2016 with third place in the Oceania Junior Road Race Championships, before taking back-to-back under-23 national criterium titles in 2019 and 2020.

In 2021, Roseman-Gannon would claim the sprint classification at the Santos Festival of Cycling before taking the elite silver medal at the 2021 Australian Criterium National Championships and the National Road Series overall title later that same year.

In 2022, Roseman-Gannon joined Team BikeExchange-Jayco for her neopro season in the UCI Women’s WorldTour and delivered a breakout year of performances. She was selected for her first Commonwealth Games in Birmingham off the back of a stellar National Road Championships where she won her first elite national championship in the criterium and finished third in the road race.

A fortnight after her success at the Road Nationals, Roseman-Gannon was in Adelaide at the Santos Festival of Cycling upping the ante from the previous year by winning the final stage and the overall general classification.

A return to the track also presented itself at the tail-end of the season for the Australian Cycling Team when she received her first selection to an elite UCI Track World Championships squad at Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines.

Another successful season on the road with Team Jayco-AlUla followed in 2023, with top-10 WorldTour finishes in the Deaken University Road Race and in stages of the Tour Down Under Giro d’Italia Women, Tour de Suisse, Simac Ladies Tour and Tour de Romandie.

In 2024, Roseman-Gannon won her second criterium national championship before breaking through for her first ever road race national championship in a sprint finish. In June, she breakthrough for her first WorldTour stage win at the Lloyds Bank Tour of Britain.

She made her Olympic debut at Paris 2024, competing in the women's road race.

At the 2024 UCI Road World Championships in Zurich, the Victorian was part of Australia's winning squad in the mixed relay team time trial, riding alongside Grace Brown, Brodie Chapman, Michael Matthews, Ben O'Connor and Jay Vine.

In a rain-soaked women's road race, Roseman-Gannon placed an impressive sixth after making the elite front group.
