When 年 is used as a noun meaning "year", it is a nouns of quantity. By noun of quantity, we mean that this noun itself already has a meaning similar to that of a measure word. Therefore, other measure words cannot be used before 年. Please remember this, as it is a very common mistake among beginning learners.
Other nouns like 年 include: 岁(sui4, age), 天 (tian1, day), 课 (ke4, lesson, class), etc. Please feel free to check them out if you are interested.

年 and some other nouns, they themselves share the quality of a measure word (or in other words we may say: a quantifier). For words like these, we cannot use 个 or other measure words. That means that it is correct to say: 一年 referring to one year.

In the Chinese calendar, 年 (nián) is used to refer to a year, as well as the New Year. It is also used to refer to the Chinese zodiac cycle, which consists of twelve years (十二年, shíèr nián). For example, 2021 is the Year of the Ox.
