Following stops in Auckland (January 18-19) and Sydney (February 8-9), the Rolex SailGP Championship will venture to the U.S., beginning with the Rolex Los Angeles Sail Grand Prix (March 15-16), where the elements of sun, sailing and celebrity will collide for an unforgettable waterside experience. The event will be the global championship's second visit to the city, and the first Rolex Title Partner event following the announcement of the Swiss watchmaker as the racing championship's first naming sponsor.
One week later, the Oracle San Francisco Sail Grand Prix (March 22-23) will showcase high speed, high tech and high drama in a racing masterclass against the backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge. Oracle, the league's cloud technology partner, has been announced as the new Title Partner of the event, which has boasted some of the most dynamic, exciting racing conditions in SailGP history. SailGP has harnessed the power of Oracle cloud and AI technology to improve racing performance and athlete safety, enhancing the fan engagement and viewer experience, and grow the league into a global phenomenon.
The U.S. leg of the 2025 season calendar will conclude with the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix (June 7-8) - the kickoff to the summer in the Big Apple featuring epic racing in front of the iconic Manhattan skyline, framed by the Statue of Liberty. The Rolex SailGP Championship will then head to Europe where great British racing will unfold at the inaugural Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix | Portsmouth (July 19 -20) - the league's long-awaited return to British shores. The event will be proceeded by the first ever Germany Sail Grand Prix | Sassnitz (August 16-17), at which nature's power will meet the precision of elite racing in a showcase of sport.
The racing rockstars of SailGP will then be celebrated by Italian color and performance at the ROCKWOOL Italy Sail Grand Prix | Taranto (September 6-7) before the global elegance of the event and its precision is highlighted at the Rolex Switzerland Sail Grand Prix | Geneva (September 20-21). The final event on the European calendar will be the Spain Sail Grand Prix | Andalucía - Cádiz (October 4-5) with an authentic Spanish flair showcasing festival, fun and community.
