The America’s Cup, the oldest and most prestigious sailing competition in the world, arrives in Cagliari for the official Preliminary Regattas of the 38th edition, scheduled from May 21 to May 24, 2026, in the stunning waters of the Gulf of Angels. Four days of extraordinary spectacle will see the world’s top international teams competing aboard the spectacular AC75 yachts — true masterpieces of technology and innovation capable of “flying” above the water thanks to their foiling system, reaching remarkable speeds.
The program includes the opening races on May 21, 2026, two intense days of competition on May 22 and 23, and the final showdowns on May 24, 2026.
Cagliari once again confirms its status as a global sailing hub, also thanks to its strong connection with the Italian team Luna Rossa , which has chosen the city as its operational base in recent years.
The arrival of the America’s Cup is not only a top-level sporting event but also an international occasion that will bring media, sailing enthusiasts, and visitors from all over the world to Sardinia. A unique opportunity to experience the sea and the city in a vibrant atmosphere of sport, innovation, and passion, with Cagliari taking center stage in the Mediterranean sailing scene.
