We are proud to announce that the 2026 EurILCA Team Racing European Championship will be held in Athens, Greece from 10-13 December 2026, once again co-organised with the Yacht Club of Greece.

Building on the resounding success of last year's inaugural edition, this year's championship promises to be even more exciting. National teams will compete in the ILCA 4 class in a fast-paced team racing format, bringing together the best district representatives from across Europe.

To help us and the organising club plan effectively, we invite all districts to indicate their intention to participate. Please complete the short Expression of Interest Form — this is not a binding commitment, simply a valuable first step in helping us prepare.

More information, including the Notice of Race and registration details, will be published in the coming months.

We look forward to welcoming both familiar faces and new teams to Athens for what promises to be an unforgettable celebration of our sport.
