The Rolex TP52 World Championship is the jewel in the crown of the 52 SUPER SERIES, the pinnacle of monohull fleet racing. In 2024, 10 outstanding teams from seven countries competed in the waters off Newport, Rhode Island, USA, for one of sailing’s most coveted prizes. Over 10 races, the British crew on Gladiator displayed impressive teamwork and application to secure a first world title. This year’s regatta formed part of the biennial Race Week at Newport presented by Rolex, uniting the championship with the brand’s oldest partner in the sport, the New York Yacht Club. Since that union in 1958, Rolex’s presence has extended to leading clubs, athletes and competitions – including, since 2017, as Title Sponsor of the TP52 World Championship and Official Timepiece of the 52 SUPER SERIES.

Rolex has always associated with activities driven by passion, excellence, precision and team spirit. The Swiss watchmaker naturally gravitated towards the elite world of yachting six decades ago and the brand’s enduring partnership now encompasses the most prestigious clubs, races and regattas, as well as towering figures in the sport, including ground-breaking round-the-world yachtsman Sir Francis Chichester and the most successful Olympic sailor of all time, Sir Ben Ainslie. Today, Rolex is Title Sponsor of 15 major international events – from leading offshore races such as the annual Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race and the biennial Rolex Fastnet Race, to grand prix competition at the Rolex TP52 World Championship and spectacular gatherings at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup and the Rolex Swan Cup. It also supports the exciting SailGP global championship in which national teams race identical supercharged F50 catamarans on some of the world’s most famous harbours. Rolex’s partnerships with the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, Royal Ocean Racing Club, Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, Yacht Club Italiano, New York Yacht Club and Royal Yacht Squadron, among others, are the foundation of its enduring relationship with this dynamic sport.
