The World Match Racing Tour (or WMRT) is, since 2000, an annual series of professional sailing match race events held in multiple countries.[1] Since 2006, the winner of the WMRT series has been named the Match Racing World Champion.[2]

Throughout the course of the Tour, participating teams compete in various boats, with each event featuring identical boat models. Teams regularly switch boats during the competition, emphasizing the importance of the sailors' skill and strategic abilities.[3]
