Guide Preliminary Regatta of America's Cup 2024 Barcelona 

(formerly called Prada Cup)

The Preliminary Regatta is a sailing competition held to determine the challenger who will race against the defender in the America's Cup. The America's Cup is one of the oldest and most prestigious trophies in international sports, and it's contested in a series of match races between two sailing yachts. The winner of the America's Cup becomes the defender and is responsible for organizing the next edition of the competition.

The Preliminary Regatta serves as the selection series for the challenger who will go on to compete against the current holder of the America's Cup. The Preliminary Regatta is also known as the Challenger Selection Series. The format of the Preliminary Regatta can vary depending on the edition, but it typically involves multiple challenger teams competing in a series of races.

The team that performs the best in the Preliminary Regatta earns the right to challenge the defender in the America's Cup match. The America's Cup is known for its high-tech and high-performance sailing yachts, and the competition attracts top sailors and designers from around the world.

The Preliminary Regatta adds an additional layer of excitement to the overall event by determining which challenger will have the opportunity to compete for the prestigious America's Cup. 

There are three Preliminary Regattas that precede the 2024 final America's Cup races: the first two were in 2023 on board the AC40s (Vilanova i la Geltrú, Spain, from September 14 to 17 2023 and in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from November 29 to December 2 2023). The third Preliminary Regatta race is in Barcelona in August 2024 in Barcelona with the AC75 monohulls that are used in the final race.
