Emirates ACWS Portsmouth - What To Expect

Portsmouth is hosting the second event on the America’s Cup World Series (ACWS) 2020 circuit and it will be the third time the city has hosted the racing. 2020 is set to be another exciting, entertainment-packed weekend, enjoyed by everyone. Teams will come together from across the globe; New Zealand, America and Italy to join the British local home team, INEOS TEAM UK - led by five time Olympic medallist, Sir Ben Ainslie - for the fastest sailing show on the Solent. “We are really looking forward to competing in front of our home crowd again. The 2015 and 2016 America’s Cup World Series events in Portsmouth saw an estimated 250,000 fans line the Southsea waterfront. It’s so great that Portsmouth has been chosen as only one of two locations outside of New Zealand where people can watch the AC75 foiling monohulls in action. We are confident the racing will deliver a true spectacle.” SUBSCRIBE to the official America's Cup channel: www.youtube.com/americascup Like America’s Cup On Facebook: www.facebook.com/americascup Follow America’s Cup On Twitter: www.twitter.com/americascup Follow America’s Cup On Instagram: www.instagram.com/americascup Stay up to date with the America’s Cup newsletter: www.americascup.com/en/newsletter The 36th America's Cup presented by Prada will be contested by the winner of the 2017 America's Cup, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron represented by their team, Emirates Team New Zealand, and the winner of the Prada Cup, the challenger selection series which takes place in January–February in 2021. #AmericasCup #AC36 #Auckland2021
