While the America’s Cup has spent most of 2025 trying to reinvent itself as a quasi race circuit event, SailGP has doubled-down down on its existing 13 event circuit.
The SailGP circuit now girdles the world and the success of Russell Coutts and Larry Ellison’s ground breaking circuit, launched in 2018, with five teams has taken sailing to another level.
The 2025 Championship-deciding Mubadala Abu Dhabi Sail Grand Prix Grand Final, takes place on 29-30 November.
The final 2025 event at Abu Dhabi will decide the top three teams who will go head to head to in the winner-takes-all race for the SailGP season trophy and USD $2 million dollar prize money, from a total season prize pot of USD $12.8 million.
SailGP CEO Russell Coutts Commented, “As we grow SailGP into a truly global sports property, these long-term commitments with key venues are a critical step in delivering a world-class experience year after year.”
