The 2025 12 Metre North American Championship will take place in Newport, Rhode Island, September 19–21, hosted by the Ida Lewis Yacht Club in partnership with the International Twelve Metre Association Americas Fleet. Featuring the graceful and historic yachts that once defined the America’s Cup, the regatta will bring together Traditional and Classic divisions for three days of racing on Narragansett Bay, with prime viewing from Fort Adams, Castle Hill, and Bannister’s Wharf, where the fleet will dock between races. Celebrated for their beauty and rarity, 12 Metres are “graceful, elegant thoroughbreds built to race,” and this championship launches a two-year series of world-class events in Newport leading up to the 2026 12mR Pre-Worlds and World Championship.
