In September 2020, Porsche announced the creation of a new single-make racing series to take place in the United States and Canada, replacing both IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge USA and IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge Canada.

[1] The Porsche Carrera Cup North America would be launched in 2021 in partnership with sanctioning body IMSA and Michelin, who would become the exclusive tire provider for the series.

[4] By October 2020, five months before the first race was set to begin, Porsche had sold out of their allocations of the new car for North America.

[6] With this title sponsorship came an expanded prize package, which included a trip to a five-star resort in the Cayman Islands.

[13] For 2024, Long Beach and Laguna Seca were dropped from the schedule in favor of a return to Road Atlanta and an additional round supporting the Canadian Grand Prix.
