2023 Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup

September 9 to 16, 2023

NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND

The Rolex New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup returns for the eighth edition of this historic international yacht club challenge. The event will be run for the third time in the Club's fleet of IC37s. These boats—all maintained by the same team to the same exacting standards—will once again provide the ultimate platform for high energy, amateur sailing on a completely level platform. 

The preliminary regatta schedule includes three days of optional practice beginning September 6, registration and optional practice on September 9, two days of mandatory practice on September 10 and 11, and five days of racing beginning September 12. The memorable Rolex Awards Dinner will be held September 16 on the lawn of the New York Yacht Club Harbour Court.
