* Important Note:  Dates are subject to change by event organizers and competitors.  The August 2012 city location is still being determined.  The October dates in San Francisco are still to be confirmed.  Please confirm all dates before making any travel or business plans.
 

News stories March 1, 2012, about the USA television coverage of the ACWS referred to potentially different dates for the San Francisco events than previously announced (see below for those dates).   On March 4, 2012, organizers confirmed that New York is being negotiated for August, 2012, with San Francisco as the fall-back, and the second San Francisco event is being moved to October with the exact dates officially to-be-confirmed.  News stories related to the TV broadcast, though, mentioned October 7 as the final day of racing which means that the regatta would also overlap with Fleet Week on the Bay.

Venice was announced Sept 4, 2011.  Dates for this stop were earlier reserved as May 19-27. Read Venice Press Release
Naples was announced September 14, 2011. Read Naples Press Release
San Francisco's original August dates were announced in late October, 2011, before being modified in March, 2012.

As for SF, part of the Host city Agreement for staging the 34th Defense there in 2013 included a promise to bring an ACWS or AC "World Championship" races to the city prior to the actual Defense, which will be helpful as a learning experience for teams and organizers alike, and just as importantly would also be a boost from an economic impact perspective.
