Cork Week is organised by the Royal Cork Yacht Club, based in Crosshaven on Cork Harbour and recognised as the oldest yacht club in the world, tracing its own founding back to 1720.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Its organisation by the Royal Cork Yacht Club, whose 1720 founding makes it the oldest yacht club in the world, gives the regatta an institutional pedigree within international sailing that few other Irish sporting events can claim

02

The mystery stays covered

The Royal Cork Yacht Club's three-century history gives Cork Week an institutional pedigree within international sailing that draws competitors partly for the prestige of racing under such a historically significant club's organisation

03

The city starts moving

That prestige draws entries from well beyond Ireland each time the regatta is staged
