The America’s Cup is the race with no second place. Either you win or you lose, and it has been like this for over 173 years. In the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup Match the Defender Emirates Team New Zealand will face the winner of the Louis Vuitton Cup (Challenger Selection Series) in a first to seven points Match. Each race will be a match race between the two teams. The winner of each race scores one point, the loser scores no points. The first team to score seven points will become the Defender of the 38th America’s Cup.

KNOW THE RULES

Every sport has its own set of rules. In sailing, they're built to clarify who has "right-of-way" in different scenarios, and they are used strategically in a Match Race to help gain the upper hand. Break a rule, and your opponent will protest. If the umpires agree, you'll be given a penalty. Let’s see a few of the basics to help you keep up when the penalty calls start flying!

FROM LAND

The main activation is in the AC Race Village along Moll de la Fusta, which will contain a main stage and four giant screens but doesn’t have a direct view of the water. The Fanzones in Plaça del Mar and Port Olimpic are opposite the race area and have giant screens for close-up action. Plaça Rosa dels vents and the beaches of St. Miguel, Barceloneta and Somorrostro are also good options, but you need your mobile to watch the live show.

The main activations take place in the Race Village along Moll de la Fusta, and the racecourse is located just outside the port entrance breakwaters.

TRANSPORT OPTIONS

Barcelona and the metropolitan area have a sustainable public transport network, making getting around easy. To meet 37th America’s Cup sustainability targets we encourage all visitors not to travel by personal car. Park your vehicle in one of the car parks away from downtown, then walk or catch the metro and enjoy the views and activities walking by foot, hiring a bicycle or a scooter. Taxis are also a good option to make life easier and smoother for all.
