Abstract Cosmic ray cut-off rigidity tables and maps over the world concerning the epochs 2010, 2015 and the current one 2020 have been constructed. These maps display the effective cut-off rigidity in every five degrees in latitude and in longitude at the altitude of 20 km above the surface of the international reference ellipsoid. The values of the geomagnetic cut-off rigidity were calculated in every 5° in latitude and in every 15° in longitude applying the well-known method of particle trajectory calculations resulted from the theory of the particle motion in the Earth's magnetic field. The applied software employed the 12th Generation of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF 12) and trajectories were calculated at 0.01 GV intervals in order to determine the vertical cut-off rigidity for each location. Beyond the use of the calculated cut-off rigidity values as a basic reference of charged particle access to different geographical locations during quiet and/or more intense geomagnetic periods, these results can be used for a long- term forecasting of the geomagnetic conditions variations.
