On 19 January 2010, Cavour set sail for Haiti, leaving La Spezia.

As of 29 January 2010, Cavour had picked up a Brazilian relief force at Fortaleza. The Brazilians added two helicopters, a UH-14 Super Puma and a UH-12 Squirrel (AS350), 11 civilians (6 doctors, 5 nurses), 63 military (25 health professionals).

On 1 February 2010, Cavour arrived at the Dominican Republic port of Puerto Caucedo, near the capital of Santo Domingo. The land element, Task Force Genio, disembarked, and would trek overland to Haiti, due to the damaged docks at Port-au-Prince. Cavour has RO-RO capability. It would depart for Haiti later.

On 3 February 2010, Cavour had disgorged all the land-mobile land-element. The overland trip to Port-au-Prince from Puerto Caucedo took 36 hours.

On 6 February 2010, Cavour arrived at Port-au-Prince.
