The America's Cup is the world's most famous sailing competition and the oldest international sporting trophy. First held in 1851.
For the first 132 years the America’s Cup was held by the New York Yacht Club, one of the most prestigious clubs in the world. Until in 1983 they lost the trophy to Australia. Since that date, the America’s Cup has only been won by the United States, Switzerland, and New Zealand. The current Defender is New Zealand.
The name America's Cup comes from the winner of the regatta — a schooner named America.
The men’s teams sail in SC75 boats.
The women's and youth teams sail in AC40 boats.
