SailGP is set to return to Halifax for a third time in 2027, bringing high-speed catamaran racing back to the harbor. The announcement was made on May 20, 2026, confirming the city's continued role as a host for the international sailing series.
Halifax Harbour to Host Again
The event will feature foiling catamarans reaching speeds over 50 knots as teams from around the world compete on the waters of Halifax Harbour. Previous editions in 2023 and 2024 drew large crowds and significant economic benefits for the region.
Economic and Tourism Impact
Local officials expect the 2027 event to generate millions in tourism revenue, with visitors filling hotels and restaurants. The races also provide global television exposure for Nova Scotia.
Details on exact dates and participating teams will be released closer to the event. SailGP CEO Russell Coutts praised Halifax as a "world-class venue" and looked forward to returning.
