America's Cup is a privately owned entity headquartered in New Zealand. Founded in 1851, the organization has approximately 100 employees and is primarily associated with water sports. The America's Cup is recognized as the oldest trophy in international sport, originating in 1851 when the yacht America won a race around the Isle of Wight, U.K., leading to the trophy being named after it. The trophy was subsequently donated in trust through a Deed of Gift. Historically, only four countries have won the America’s Cup. The trophy is currently held by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, based in Auckland, following a defense by Emirates Team New Zealand in Barcelona in 2024.

OFFICIAL PRACTICE RACE

Practice races in sailing are full of superstition with many racers doing everything they can not to win them. However, for the Luna Rossa Principal team, they failed to read the superstitious script and put down a marker from the get-go, coming out and smoking the fleet by enormous margins – up to 500 metres at times – to win all three races.
