What is the America’s Cup?
Six international
teams made up of elite sailors, are set to compete in the America’s Cup
World Series in Portsmouth. They use high-speed and technologically-advanced
carbon-fiber catamarans. The racing circuit has been held around the world
since 2015 and will finish in 2017 in Bermuda.
Portsmouth also held the America’s Cup last year in July, but many of the races
were cancelled due to terrible weather. We are in England after all!

Do I need tickets?
To enter the actual race village
you will need a ticket, which costs £25 for the day. However, there is lots of
action happening down the waterfront, and the atmosphere will be amazing, so
it’s worth heading down just to check it out.

There will be incredible aerial
displays every day from 12.00 pm, plus lots of other amazing things to see and
do within the race village. We will certainly be buying a ticket and spending
the day there, it’s a guaranteed amazing time!
