Sardinia prepares to host America's Cup fans

Shoreside, spectators are in for a treat as the Region of Sardinia welcomes the world to this beautiful and unique part of Italy’s second biggest island. Visitors will be able to take in the dedicated free-to-enter Race Village where the main stage will be housed for sailor presentations alongside a full entertainment programme. Right in front of the main stage, on a daily basis both before and after racing at least one AC40 will be docked alongside for fans to admire whilst within the Race Village there will be plenty of food and beverage concessions as well as the official merchandise store.

For those wishing to stay within the Race Village, large screens will show every second of the racing but for those that wish to see the racing live, the FanZone Lazzareto will have a direct vantage point out to the two possible racecourse areas. These designated zones are approximately two kilometres in diameter and close to the shoreline, depending on the wind direction.

Also along the FanZone Lazzaretto, sailing activities managed by the Italian Sailing Federation (FIV), include Alessandra Sensini's Foil Academy and the Parasail Academy For Sailing With Disabilities. It is anticipated that the majority of the local sailing clubs will also be involved whilst also along the FanZone there will be large screens and food and beverage options. Both the race Village and the FanZone are expected to open from 11:00 on race days, and close by 19:00 local time.

The Region of Sardinia is ready. The Road to Naples and the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup officially starts on the 21st through to the 24th May 2026.

Be there!
