The Yacht Club Uruguayo is situated in the city of Montevideo and it officially represents the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) in Uruguay.

In 1906, a group of young sailors founded the Uruguayan Yacht Club in Montevideo's bay in order to promote sailing in the region.

Architects Jorge Herrán and Luis Crespi designed the boat-shaped building which, since 1997, has been considered part of Uruguay's historical legacy.

The Yacht Club Uruguayo is the recognized national member for Uruguay of the International Sailing Federation.
