The two days of racing will be part of a global series of preliminary events leading into the next America’s Cup. The regatta in New York will be followed by a World Series event in Chicago in June.

The New York races will take place on the lower Hudson River off the Battery Park City Esplanade and will bring the America’s Cup community back to the city that has the longest connection to the trophy, which was held by the New York Yacht Club from 1851 to 1983.

Overall ranking positions will determine the starting points score of the teams in the America’s Cup qualifiers in 2017.

Those who want a preview can watch in person in New York, where admission will be free and the views from the skyscrapers striking.

Visitors to the America’s Cup World Series in New York will be only a short walk from the World Trade Center. The event village will be close to the site of the twin towers of the World Trade Center, destroyed in the 2001 attack. The new One World Trade Center building is the highest in North America – 1776 feet tall, the height symbolically recalling the year of the United States’ independence. The largest manmade waterfalls in North America surround the reflecting pools at the site of the twin towers.

Brookfield Place Waterfront Plaza & Event Village

Head to the Brookfield Place Waterfront Plaza to experience the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series New York Event Village, featuring entertainment, sponsor activity and hospitality. The Event Village main stage will host the Dock-Out Ceremony, where fans can cheer the teams before they head out to the race course, and the Awards Ceremony. Big screens near the stage will also broadcast racing live, and audio commentary along the waterfront will keep fans up-to-speed on all the action.
