'Close, exciting racing has been seen throughout the history of the ISAF Team Racing Worlds and more of the same will be expected at the 2015 edition.'

Great Britain were the first team to lift the ISAF Team Racing Worlds in West Kirby, Great Britain in 1995. Ireland came in second with Australia completing the podium.
