Yacht Club Costa Smeralda is a yacht club at Porto Cervo on the Costa Smeralda in northern Sardinia, Italy. It was established in 1967 by Karim al-Husseini, known as the Aga Khan IV, and provides services for recreational sailors. The club challenged for the 1983 America's Cup at Newport, Rhode Island, with Azzurra, which finished third. It hosted the World 12-Metre Class championship in 1984 and challenged again in 1987 with Azzurra '87 off Fremantle, Western Australia, when the Royal Perth Yacht Club chose it as Challenger of Record for that edition of the America's Cup.
