The America’s Cup Village will be closed for three days this week — Wednesday, Thursday and Friday— despite that fact that the Red Bull Youth America’s Cup competition will be continuing on Thursday and Friday.

TeamBDA finish their qualifying races this evening, but teams in Group A will be battling it out on the Great Sound on Thursday and Friday and the public have been advised to watch those races from the shore or on boats.

The Village will reopen on Saturday when the main event — the finals of the America’s Cup between defenders Oracle and Emirates New Zealand — gets under way with the first two races of the series.

Americas Cup Village tickets are still available for June 17, June 18 and June 25 although Grandstand seating and tickets to the Goslings Dark ‘n Stormy Island Bar are sold out on all days of the America’s Cup match.

There is, however still some limited corporate hospitality.

AC ferries will operating every day that the America’s Cup Village is open as will the Park n Ride programme. Both can be booked in advance online at www.americascup.com/tickets
