America's Cup e-Series 2024 Finals

The spirit of the America's Cup e-Series is embodied in the uniquely designed e-Series Trophy, a symbol of innovation and sustainability. Inspired by the natural beauty and intricate patterns of coral, the trophy represents resilience, strength, and the interconnectedness of nature. It has been produced using cutting-edge 3D printing technology and is made from recycled plastic, including upcycled ocean plastics.

Eight of the world's best virtual sailors will face-off across a series of intense races for a slice of the €50,000 prize pool, the title of the first-ever America's Cup e-Series Champion, and an extraordinary opportunity: the chance to trade the game for the real deal and race in an actual AC40 foiling monohull – one of the fastest boats on the planet – against one of the UniCredit Youth America's Cup teams. The evening will be hosted by Tony Aguilar, who will be joined by America's Cup commentator Jesse Tuke, esports caster Skain, and Emirates Team New Zealand sailor Liv Mackay, to provide expert commentary on the racing action.

The Grand Final also promises world-class entertainment throughout the night, including a performance by renowned illusionist 'mentalist' Jorge Blass and a closing DJ set by acclaimed duo Catz 'N Dogz. The America's Cup e-Series Grand Final will take place at the America's Cup Race Village, located across Moll de la Fusta at Barcelona's Port Vell. Attendance is free and open to the public.
