The latest update from the Challenger of Record organisation, who are solely responsible for the organisation of the ACWS event in Cagliari have issued the following statement.

“The Challenger of Record 36 (COR 36) organisation is closely monitoring the developments regarding the Corona Virus outbreak and any potential impact on the America’s Cup World Series Sardegna – Cagliari regatta scheduled for April 23 – 26, 2020.

At this stage there are no elements which prohibit the ACWS Cagliari – Sardinia to take place on schedule (23rd to the 26th of April), the Italian government’s decree of suspension of the sport activities/events expiring on the 3rd of April.

Any further updates from COR 36 regarding the ACWS Sardegna – Cagliari event will be posted on the America’s Cup website.”

Emirates Team New Zealand, contrary to media reports, have confirmed they have not been involved in any meetings with CoR36 today.
