HOW TO WATCH THE RACES

For the 37th America’s Cup all events are free to watch: online, on land and on the water. No ticketing will be required at any venues, regatta or pre-regattas. The America’s Cup is free to watch for everyone.

    On The Water

    Watching the America’s Cup Preliminary Regattas on the water is one of the most exhilarating spectator vantage points and for all of the Pre-Regattas and the America’s Cup itself, there are no tickets and no charge for doing so. For those spectators wishing to watch the America’s Cup events from their own vessels, we encourage you to go out on the water only if you have a vessel that is 5 metres or longer. Areas will be dedicated for yachts and small craft around the perimeter, well outside of the ‘boundary’ of the racecourse and it should be noted that anchors are not to be used at any time due to the unique maritime environment. If you plan to get on the water amongst the action, then do please register your details below to stay up to date with all the latest information as we lead up to the Preliminary Regattas.
