SailGP has announced a return to Great Britain as part of its 2024/2025 Season calendar. The Great Britain Sail Grand Prix will take place on 19 and 20 July 2025, with the venue set to be announced in the coming months. SailGP last came to the UK in July 2022, with an event in Plymouth which was attended more than 31,000 people, including HRH Princess of Wales.
SailGP’s fifth season will feature a host of new teams and new locations, with 14 events across five continents. The Season 4 Grand Final takes place in San Francisco this weekend, 13 and 14 July, and Season 5 will commence with the Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix presented by P&O Marinas on 23 and 24 November 2024.
Sir Ben Ainslie, CEO of the Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team, said: “We are delighted that SailGP is returning to Great Britain in the summer of 2025. All of us at Emirates GBR are excited to have a home event and bring the most exciting racing on water back to Britain.
"It will be an opportunity for our home fans to experience the world class entertainment SailGP has to offer and see the sport's top athletes in action during the close to shore racing. We will be announcing the venue in the coming months, and look forward to working with local schools, sailing clubs, and other organisations to create opportunities for young people in the area."
