The world’s oldest international sporting trophy–the America’s Cup.

About us

The America's Cup is the oldest trophy in international sport, dating back to 1851, when the yacht America, after which the trophy is named, beat the best of the British fleet in a race around the Isle of Wight, U.K. The trophy won on that day was donated in trust through a Deed of Gift and has since become a symbol of immense achievement. In its 173 year history, only four countries have managed to win the America’s Cup making it perhaps the hardest title to capture in sport. The America's Cup is currently held by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, based in Auckland after another successful defence by Emirates Team New Zealand in Barcelona in 2024.
