The 54th San Marino Rally is set to roar back to life on June 19-20, 2026, bringing world-class gravel rally action to the winding mountain roads of the worlds oldest republic. As a key round of the Italian Gravel Rally Championship, this years event promises high-octane competition and dramatic stages.
First held in 1970, the San Marino Rally has grown into one of the most respected events on the Italian rally calendar. Now in its 54th edition, the rally combines the technical challenge of gravel stages with the breathtaking backdrop of San Marinos Apennine mountain terrain. The event also runs alongside the 11th San Marino Rally Historic, celebrating the golden era of rally machinery with classic cars on the same legendary roads.
Competitors will face special stages carved through the hills and valleys surrounding the microstate, testing driver skill and co-driver precision on loose, unpredictable surfaces. With entries expected from across Italy and beyond, the 2026 edition is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in recent memory.
While San Marino may be one of Europes smallest countries at just 61 square kilometers, its motorsport heritage punches well above its weight. The republic has long been a fixture on the rally calendar, and the event draws thousands of spectators to its hilltop roads and medieval towns each June.
Mark your calendars for June 19-20 and get ready for a weekend of pure motorsport drama on the roads of the Serenissima.
