World Sailing has opened the bidding process for the 2024, 2025 and 2026 editions of the Youth and the Women's Match Racing World Championships.

The Youth Match Racing World Championship brings together the best youth match racers from around the world acknowledging their skills and offering a pathway to adult match racing competition.

The Women's Match Racing World Championship is an annual event which was first held in Genoa, Italy in 1999 after a successful event was held as part of the 1998 World Sailing World Championship in Dubai, UAE.

The Bid Guidelines are attached and provide MNAs and Host Cities with an outline specification of minimum requirements for both the sports competition and the on-shore events and sets out the rights and responsibilities for each party in hosting an event.

Bids to host the Championship must be received by 20 December 2023. World Sailing will approve the final venues by February 2024.
