LONDON (AP) French city Toulon will host the fifth America's Cup World Series event in September 2016.
The World Series event, which is part of a two-year schedule to determine the challenger to face Team Oracle in the 2017 America's Cup in Bermuda, will be held in the Mediterranean city from Sept. 10-11.
Franck Cammas, the captain of Groupama Team France, says ''we can't wait to bring the race to Toulon and to compete in front of a home crowd.''
Other events in 2016 are scheduled to take place in Muscat, Oman, along with New York, Chicago and Portsmouth, England.
