The 2024 Puig Women's America's Cup is the inaugural Women's Americas Cup and will be held in Barcelona, Spain. Both the Youth and Women's America's Cup will use the America's Cup 40 AC40 class, a one-design 12 m (40 ft) foiling monohull class. The yachts have 4 crew onboard (two helms and two trimmers) and many athletes also competed in the youth America's Cup. There are no age restrictions for athletes.

Teams

Twelve teams are split into two pools of six for an initial fleet racing series, Group A contains clubs which entered into the America's Cup challenger series of that year and Group B contain clubs which have been invited to take part. After six fleet races the top three of each division then progress to the final series of 4 fleet races which decide the top two teams, who subsequently compete in a single match-race final to determine the overall winner of the event.

Nationality requirements stipulated in the protocol mean that 100% of the crew sailing each yacht in each race must be nationals of the country of the yacht club the team represents.
