Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week

The history of Newport is synonymous with sporting firsts, from the first US Open golf championship, to the first New York Yacht Club annual regatta, to the first American car circuit race. Newport’s extensive automotive history dates back as early as the Gilded Age, with the first Vanderbilt Cup trophy given in a race on September 6, 1900, after Willie K. Vanderbilt and some of his closest friends traveled to the nearby horse track to race their newly-imported automobiles. Little did they realize the impact their racing exploits would have on American racing culture.

With such a rich motoring history, Newport is a natural destination for a premier Concours & Motor Week, with beautiful, historic mansions, landmark commercial buildings, and the seemingly endless Atlantic Ocean providing the most elegant of backdrops. Established in 2019, the Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week is a multi-day celebration of the automobile, uniting enthusiasts from around the world.
