Rally Italia Sardegna will be the 6th round on the 2025 FIA World Rally Championship calendar. The 22nd consecutive edition of the Rally d’Italia in Sardinia – organized by the Automobile Club d’Italia – will take place over the weekend from June 5 to 8.

WRC Promoter – organizer of the World Rally Championship – has officially announced the 2025 calendar and confirmed the central placement of the Italian round. The FIA WRC is gearing up for its longest season since 2008, with 14 races scheduled across 4 continents, including Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. The main novelties are the return of Spain (Islas Canarias), and the new additions of Paraguay and Saudi Arabia. The championship covers ice, snow, gravel, asphalt, and desert terrains. It will start as per tradition in Monte-Carlo and will conclude for the first time in Saudi Arabia.

Eng. Angelo Sticchi Damiani, President of the Automobile Club d’Italia: "The official announcement of the 2025 Calendar, with the allocation of the dates for the various world championship rounds, is a fundamental milestone towards the realization of our great race, Rally Italia Sardegna. It is a milestone, as it is preceded by years of political and sporting efforts, which have consolidated the presence of our event in the world championship. It is also a stepping stone for the future and beyond. It is wonderful to experience these moments for a race we have strongly desired, engaging in exhausting political and sporting battles on a global level. It is an event that everyone now envies, which we supported in its early, difficult, and uncertain steps, and which we have seen grow in general appreciation. Today, it is appreciated by everyone, even by those who have deeply criticized the decisions made. The enormous effort and work have nonetheless paid off, highlighting the great vision of the Automobile Club d’Italia and, above all, the extraordinary commitment of the Regione Sardegna, which has always been by our side. Today, we set off together for another great adventure."

“This is a hugely exciting calendar – remarked the Managing Director of WRC Promoter Jona Siebel - which perfectly blends our traditional rallies with three exciting new challenges, two of which are outside of Europe, highlighting once again the global appeal of our championship.”

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said: “It is fantastic to see such a full calendar of events for the 2025 WRC season. Alongside classic locations fans know and love, the introduction of new rallies in Spain, Paraguay, and Saudi Arabia adds even more excitement and reflects the global diversity of competitors and rally fans alike.”
