The 2024 Unicredit Youth America's Cup is the 3rd Youth Americas Cup and will be held in Barcelona, Spain from 17 - 26 September. Both the Youth and Women's America's Cup will use the America's Cup 40 AC40 class, a one-design 12m (40 ft) foiling monohull class. The yachts have 4 crew onboard (two helms and two trimmers) and teams can have mixed crews with many female athletes competing in the youth and 2024 PUIG Women's America's Cup. All athletes must aged between 18-25.
Teams
[edit]Twelve teams are split into two pools of six for an initial fleet racing series, Group A contains clubs which entered into the America's Cup challenger series of that year and Group B contain clubs which have been invited to take part. The top three of each division then progress to the final series of 3-4 fleet races which decide the top two teams, who subsequently compete in a single match-race final to determine the overall winners of the event.
