As in past editions of the race, it was hosted by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia based in Sydney, New South Wales. As with previous Sydney to Hobart Yacht Races, the 1992 edition began on Sydney Harbour, at noon on Boxing Day (26 December 1992), before heading south for 630 nautical miles (1,170 km) through the Tasman Sea, past Bass Strait, into Storm Bay and up the River Derwent, to cross the finish line in Hobart, Tasmania.
The 1992 fleet comprised 110 starters of which 102 completed the race and 8 yachts retired.
