The Team Australia Challenge campaign was confirmed in April 2023 by the organiser’s of the 37th America’s Cup as one of 12 national Youth and Women’s competing nations.

​

We are aiming to win the newest prize in the oldest competition, revolutionise the pathway for women and young athletes on the global stage and transform Australia’s existing legacy with the America’s Cup. This will be a technology and high-performance led sporting campaign of national significance. The Team Australia Challenge campaign is underway to deliver two national teams to the start line in Barcelona with corporate and product sponsorship and a full communications and promotions campaign. Starting from our Race Entry Acceptance and Campaign Launch in February 2023 we have a calendar of opportunities and milestones our supporters can share.

Applicants were received from every state in Australia and a panel of selectors, led by Patrons John Bertrand and John Winning Jr have been assessing, against stringent criteria, for final team selections expected to be announced by the end of September, 2023.
