The next edition of the America’s Cup will take place in September and October 2024 in Barcelona (northeastern Spain), the organizers of the prestigious sailing event announced on Tuesday March 29. The decision to organize the next edition in Spain marks a new break with the tradition of the competition which wants the next edition to take place in the country of the defending champion, which is currently New Zealand. “Holding the event in an important city like Barcelona will allow us to reinforce the growth trajectory” of the event “on the world sports scene”, explained the CEO of TNZ, Grant Dalton, quoted in the press release from the organizers.
