The event is organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda together with the International J24 Class Association and the Italian J/24 Class Association under the aegis of the Italian Sailing Federation (FIV) and World Sailing. Range Rover, institutional partner of the YCCS, is title sponsor of the regatta.

The 50 boats taking part hail from 21 nations, with a total of around 250 sailors taking to the water. Outside of the 28 Italian competitors, Germany is the most heavily-represented foreign nation with 9 crews, followed by Great Britain and Hungary with 3 boats each. Two non-European crews are also taking part, one from Australia and one from the USA, whose results will not be included in the scoring for the European Championship. The schedule provides for a maximum of 10 windward-leeward races and a minimum of 4 races will need to be completed for the European Championship to be valid.
