Season 1

Launched in October 2018, SailGP experienced a wildly successful five-race, six-team Season 1 throughout 2019. The season was highlighted by a global event audience of 1.8 billion and attracted more than 133,000 spectators to see the world’s fastest sail racing. Ultimately won by Tom Slingsby’s Australia in a fierce season-long battle with Nathan Outteridge's Japan, it's fair to say the inaugural season of SailGP was a resounding success.
