SAILGP 101 //

  • SailGP is the most exciting racing on water; we are redefining our sport.
  • The Rolex SailGP Championship is an annual global championship in iconic cities around the world.
  • 12 national teams – representing the best athletes in the sport – battle it out in identical 50-foot foiling catamarans, racing faster than wind speeds at over 60 miles per hour.
  • SailGP is where sport meets spectacle with close-to-shore stadium racing and water’s edge excitement.

SAILGP GROWTH & PROOF POINTS //

  • Backed by some of the biggest partners in sports, SailGP is redefining sailing through a fan-first, commercially-minded, annual championship. SailGP has ‘entered the chat’ as a commercially viable top global sports league.
  • SailGP is experiencing record growth this season, including spectator and broadcast figures, new global partners, new team sales, and the expansion into new markets globally.

    Spectators: SailGP brings the action to the fans, close to shore. More than 25,000 ticketed fans attended our Auckland event at the beginning of the year. The Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix in Portsmouth at the end of July was the largest ticketed sailing event in the UK and our largest ticketed crowd in the Northern Hemisphere.
    Broadcast: The 2025 KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix in Sydney (February) delivered our largest-ever dedicated global TV audience, reaching 21.1 million viewers worldwide. In the U.S., we reached a historic broadcast agreement with CBS, which is featuring 54 hours of SailGP on its networks this season. Last season, 1.78 million tuned into our Spain Sail Grand Prix on CBS – the largest linear TV audience in the U.S. for any race on water in 30 years, including Olympics and America’s Cup.
    Team Sales: SailGP continues to attract interest from a range of different investors and ownership groups, and is experiencing record demand for team sales.

    In the 2025 season, 10 of 12 teams on the startline are privately owned or operated.
    SailGP is experiencing record demand for teams, with valuations growing year over year. We are now selling teams in excess of U.S. $50 million.
    At the end of May, the Red Bull Italy SailGP Team was acquired by a consortium of accomplished investors and sports industry leaders, including Hollywood royalty, Anne Hathaway. The consortium is led by Muse Capital founding partner Assia Grazioli-Venier and luxury brand entrepreneur Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo, with one of the world’s most decorated sailors and SailGP icons, Jimmy Spithill, as CEO and co-owner.
    At the beginning of June, the Australia SailGP Team unveiled a new identity as well as two new co-owners - Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds - who join Driver and CEO Tom Slingsby in leading the freshly rebranded BONDS Flying Roos SailGP Team.
