WORLD MATCH RACING TOUR ADDS FIRST EVER IRELAND ST WORLD MATCH RACING TOUR ADDS FIRST EVER IRELAND STAGE 🏆🇮🇪

The World Match Racing Tour is pleased to announce the addition of its first ever tour stage in Ireland with the launch of the Dublin Match Cup from 25-28 September 2025. Developed by the Irish Match Racing Association with support from Sport Ireland, the Dublin Match Cup joins the 2025 tour season as a tier 2 world tour event, awarding points to the annual tour leaderboard. 

Twelve teams will be invited to the debut event in September to be sailed in the waters of Dún Laoghaire Harbour in an identical fleet of eight J80’s.

IMRA Co-Founder and Dublin Match Cup Chair, Ruairi Finnegan, said “Having raced on the World Match Racing Tour, I know first hand how intense and thrilling match racing can be. Bringing WMRT to Ireland is a huge step forward for the sport here, giving local sailors the chance to compete against the best in the world on home waters. This level of match racing in Ireland not only improves the standard in match racing, but also is a pathway to developing high level sailors in all crew positions in Ireland, improving the level for all keel boat racing.”

WMRT Executive Director James Pleasance added “We are delighted to be supporting IMRA with the launch of the Dublin Match Cup as our first ever tour stage in Ireland. We have had a number of Ireland based teams compete on the tour and I am confident this new event will grow in the years to come and encourage new teams to get involved in match racing and the tour.”

We’ve celebrated the 60th Congressional Cup winners, but now it’s time to highlight the 2025 Junior Congressional Cup winning teams! 

🤩 Each year, Long Beach Yacht Club junior sailors are paired with skippers and sailors who are competing in the Congressional Cup. But the tables are turned and the junior sailors are at the helm! They fleet race FJs just in front of the Long Beach Yacht Club. 

If you think the live commentary and enthusiasm is just for the Congressional Cup, think again! This is a highlight of the week for sailors and spectators alike, and a chance for junior sailors to meet and sail with top match racers from all over the world. 🤝

Will we see one of these names in the Congressional Cup in a few years?
