The Antigua Racing Cup is set to return in 2027, scheduled from March 17th to 21st, according to Antigua Observer. The earlier dates are expected to strengthen the event's standing in the international racing calendar.
As reported by Antigua Observer, the revised timing is designed to benefit competing vessels by allowing them to maximise their racing schedule — completing the Caribbean leg before heading on to the summer season in Europe and North America.
The 2027 edition will also introduce dual scoring and is being positioned as an unmatched racing experience in the region. Organisers appear focused on building the event's appeal to both regional and international competitors, with the March window offering a strategic advantage for ocean-going racing teams managing cross-Atlantic schedules.
Further details regarding registration, participating classes, and event programming are expected to be announced in the coming months.
