Malmö, in the Skåne region at the south of Sweden, will be the Northern European location for the Louis Vuitton Acts 6 & 7, with racing beginning on the 25th of August, 2005.

Supported by the regional district of Skåne, Malmö, is a tremendous location for sailing in Northern Europe, as the America's Cup continues holding events across Europe in 2005, before settling in its Host City of Valencia, Spain for 2006 and 2007.

"Bringing the America's Cup here means the event will be right in the heart of the city. The race village will be built within a few minutes walk of downtown Malmö," said Ilmar Reepalu, Chairman of the City Executive Board.

"The two race course areas are also right off the town on the Lommabukten (the bay directly off Malmö). This is good for the spectators ashore and on the water, as well as for the teams who can be sailing on the race course within mi nutes of leaving the dock."

The Malmö- Skåne Louis Vuitton Act 6, a Match Racing regatta begins on the 25th of August, 2005. It is followed directly by Act 7, a three-day Fleet Racing event on the 2nd September, 2005.
