The ILCA Youth World Championships 2026 will be sailed on Lake Tuusula, Finland, from June 22 to 26, 2026. The event is organized by Tuusulanjärven Purjehtijat, who also hosted the Youth Worlds in 2012.
One week prior to the World Championships, the Finnish National and European Championships will take place at the same venue, from June 15 to 18, 2026. These events offer an excellent opportunity for participants to familiarize themselves with the race area and local wind conditions ahead of the Worlds.
Youth Worlds 2026 will provide sailors with a unique experience of the Nordic midsummer and the magic of the midnight sun.
