The inaugural J Cup Ireland is taking place 26th and 27th of August 2023 at the Royal Irish Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire, on Dublin Bay.

Hosted by Key Yachting, the J Cup Regatta is exclusively organised for racing yachts of the J/Boats brand.

For the first Irish J Cup this year, J/109s, J/80s and J/24s are invited to compete.

The regatta will host the J/80 and J/109 National Championships and the J/24 East Coast Championships.

There will also be a Mixed IRC fleet, which will include J boats such as J/97s, J/112e, J122s, J133s, J/111s and others.

Entries are open for the regatta, and there is currently an early bird entry price for boats entering before 30th June, which is just a week away from now.

Like the J Cup in the Hamble, J Cup Ireland will involve fun on and off the water with exciting racing in Dublin Bay and shore-side entertainment with various trophies and prizes up for grabs.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven't put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
