The America’s Cup World Series, the preliminary regattas for the Prada Cup and the 36th America’s Cup Presented by Prada, will be held between April and December 2020 on the following dates:
23-26 April 2020 | Cagliari – Sardinia, Italy |
4-7 June 2020 | Portsmouth – UK |
17-20 December 2020 | Auckland – New Zealand, along with the Christmas Race |
The America’s Cup World Series will be followed by the Prada Cup – the Challengers’ Selection Series – to be held in Auckland in January and February 2021. The final match of the 36th America’s Cup Presented by Prada will then take place on 6-21 March 2021, featuring the winner of the Prada Cup challenging the current Defender of the America’s Cup, Emirates Team New Zealand.
To win the 36th America’s Cup Presented by Prada, a team must therefore win the Prada Cup first.
