Following the successful return of the Celtic Match Races in 2025, we are delighted to announce Team Scotland for the 2026 Celtic Match Races, as we return as defending champions.

After a 15-year absence, the Celtic Match Races made their long-awaited return to East Fortune in 2025, hosted by Melville Motor Club. Following an exciting and highly competitive weekend of racing, Team Scotland claimed victory, raising the Sword of State on home soil.

This year, the Celtic Match Races will be hosted by Andreas Racing Association at Jurby, Isle of Man, on 26th and 27th September 2026.

Following an unforgettable weekend of racing in 2025, Team Scotland are now looking forward to travelling to the Isle of Man to defend their title. With the Sword firmly in our sights once again, the team will be aiming to deliver another outstanding performance and return home as Celtic Match Race champions for a second year.

We are proud to present Team Scotland for the 2026 Celtic Match Races and wish the entire team the very best of luck as they take on the challenge of defending the title.
