LIVE: Day 2 America’s Cup Pre-Regatta – Sardinia

Written by Chris Woodhams
KEYPOINTS

This is where the road to Naples 2027 begins. Five teams field eight AC40s in the opening regatta of the new America’s Cup cycle, with two of the seven registered challengers, Team Australia and American Racing Challenger Team USA, yet to make their competitive debuts. Those who are here mean business, and this is the first real look at who has the speed, the tactics, and the nerve to challenge Emirates Team New Zealand’s historic four-peat bid. For New Zealand fans, the stakes couldn’t be higher or the interest more personal.

We’ll be updating this page throughout the regatta with race results, news, and analysis as it happens. The live stream above will be your window to the racing. Bookmark this page and check back often.

The Auld Mug campaign starts here.

2:08: Italian woman and youth take second place in race 5.

2:06: The Brits, in their second boat, take the win in race 5! Hannah Mills across the line. Fantastic race from her.

1:43am: We have had the two minute warning for race 5 – the race is live.
