MAY 26–JUNE 3

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE AMERICAN TO WIN THE AMERICA’S CUP

Every challenging team races each other twice. Each victory is worth one point, and those points determine which finalfour challenger teams progress to the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup Challenger Playoffs
But it helps! American teams have won for most of the competition’s history, and the current Defender is American. Australia II’s victory in 1983 broke the New York Yacht Club’s grip on the America’s Cup. It has since been won by teams from Switzerland (twice) and New Zealand (twice). For this year’s races, there are teams from Sweden, Britain, France, Japan, and New Zealand.

LOUIS VUITTON AMERICA’S CUP CHALLENGER PLAYOFFS

JUNE 4–JUNE 12

The Louis Vuitton America’s Cup Challenger Playoffs see the last four challengers compete in the semifinal and then final competition races. Each of these competitions are first-to-five races. The winning team progresses to the America’s Cup Match presented by Louis Vuitton as the official Challenger.

HANDS OFF THE CUP!

Made of top-quality sterling silver, the Cup is never touched by bare hands, only by agents wearing museumquality white cotton gloves. In 1997, in New Zealand, a Maori activist attacked the trophy with a sledgehammer. The Cup was repaired by Garrard’s of London, and now travels in a custom-designed Louis Vuitton case with two security protection agents. The Cup flies in business or first class wherever it goes, and it’s

    2013 Sustainability Report Introduction

    2013 sustainability report introduction our vision for the 34th america’s cup was to deliver a model sustainable sporting event. The America’s Cup is the world’s premier sailing race, and the oldest trophy in international sport, predating the modern Olympic Games by 45 years. The America’s Cup is named after the schooner America, which won a race around the Isle of Wight on August 22, 1851, against a fleet of British yachts. Four nations have won the America’s Cup in its 162-year history: the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland. ORACLE TEAM USA won the 33RD America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain, in February 2010, and selected San Francisco as the host city for the 34TH America’s Cup. ORACLE TEAM USA, representing the Golden Gate Yacht Club, won the 33RD America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain, in February 2010, and the Golden Gate Yacht Club selected San Francisco as the host city for the 34TH America’s Cup. The America’s Cup Event Authority (“ACEA”) aspired to implement best practice standards in delivering a sustainable 34TH America’s Cup event in San Francisco. Our vision was to deliver a model sustainable sporting event and to leave a positive legacy in the community and on the sport of sailing. ACEA published the 34TH America’s Cup Sustainability Plan 1 (“Sustainability Plan”) in March 2012, outlining our approach to delivering sustainable event activities in San Francisco. We pledged to understand our impacts, reduce potentially negative impacts as far as possible, and maximize legacy benefits. Since that time, ACEA has monitored and tracked the event’s performance and progress in order to inform stakeholders and the public about activities and achievements, and provide transparent reporting on event activities in San Francisco.

The findings of this paper are based on a new country classification approach which uses a combination of income- and trade criteria. We distinguish between developing countries whose producers compete with OECD
