Bids invited for 2021, 2022 and 2023 Youth and Women's Match Racing World Championships

World Sailing, the world governing of the sport, has opened the bidding process for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 editions of the Youth and the Women’s Match Racing World Championships.

The Youth Match Racing World Championship brings together the best youth match racers from around the world acknowledging their skills and offering a pathway to adult match racing competition.
 
The Women’s Match Racing World Championship is an annual event which was first held in Genoa, Italy in 1999 after a successful event was held as part of the 1998 World Sailing World Championship in Dubai, UAE.
 
Auckland, New Zealand will host both the 2020 editions of the Championships and World Sailing is now inviting Member Nation Authorities (MNAs) and Host Cities to bid to host one of the next three editions thereafter of both the Youth and Women’s Championships.
 
The bid guidelines – available here – provide MNAs and Host Cities with an outline specification of minimum requirements for both the sports competition and the on-shore events and sets out the rights and responsibilities for each party in hosting an event.
 
Bids to host the Championship must be received by 1 March 2020. World Sailing’s Board of Directors will approve the final venues by May 2020.
